Meant the hiking comment for AZDR, Dane. We haven't met yet, but I hope to fix that.

Made reservation at InnDulge Friday through Tuesday. Pricey, but I decided I was worth it and didn't have another opti I'mon. Guess that's why they call it InnDulge. Looking forward to seeing everyone.

I will be there and I will be doing an afternoon pool party at my house for early arrivals.

This year will be Friday afternoon from 12 noon - 6 pm as I know many guys will have dinner plans.

Lite snacks and Non- alcoholic drinks unless requested early so I can pick up said booze for you.

I would like to attend, if you would like.

[Despardo]

I plan to be there from Thursday until Saturday eve at the Canyon Club.....my seventh year in a row.......really cool to meet up with forum people and I enjoy the awesome senses of humor of a few particular dudes!!......

 

I offered a group tour of Sunnylands in the other, older thread, but, due to very light interest expressed, I'm canceling that......

 

however, I'll probably go for a nearby hike Saturday morning and I know several are interested in that.....more on that later....I'll have a vehicle and can shuttle people around if I'm available

Couldn't get a room at CC, staying at InnDulge. Looking forward to seeing you again.

Hey there.

 

I joined this forum just a little while ago and I am very interested in attending this weekend.

 

Is there anyone who would have an extra bed or couch in their room that I could shack up with?

 

If so, PM me and let's chat!

 

Thanks guys!!!!

Sorry to hear that. Thanks, but I got a room at InnDulge.

I still have a reservation i am going to drop at Canyon Club, as I made two. If you want, I can change it to your name.

Thank you, but I have a hefty deposit at InnDulge. Appreciate the offer.

They won't refund your deposit if you cancel?

45 day out, they require a deposit of 50% of the total booking. I think there is a stiff penalty for cancelling.

According to the email I received from Inndulge and I quote:

Guarantee: Forty-five (45)days prior to arrival date a non-refundable deposit equal to half your stay (room and tax) will be charged to your credit card.

 

Cancellation Policy: Cancellation must be received at least 45days prior to arrival date. Reservations cancelled less than 45days prior to arrival date will forfeit all deposits made.

Yes, you really have to read the cancellation policies word for word (especially for that time of year) and in some cases call them to make sure what they mean.

[+ purplekow]

Well that last thing I would want is a stiff penalty.

Here is a link to typical Palm Springs weather and temps for the Palm Springs weekend get together.

Looks like I can leave the winter coat at home.

Forecasts that predict the weather almost a month in advance are really based on averages from the past. This has been a very non-average year so far in Palm Springs. Today is the first day of Spring, and in most years it is sunny and warm (80s) during this week, but today has been chilly, cloudy, occasionally wet, and for the past several hours the wind has been howling so bad I can hardly hear the tv over the noise from the shaking of the house. I am still wearing the winter clothes that I usually have packed away in early February.

With highs in the low 80’s and lows in the 50’s, the weather looks perfect.

I sent out confirmation e-mails earlier today. If you did not receive one and you wish to attend, please let me know immediately. Thanks.

[Derrick Rigg]

Wish I could attend. I will be in PS for two days the prior week.

 

But I am happy to come back home to LA after being a year away.

It has just been announced that the PS Tramway, which has been closed since the Feb 14th storm that caused a lot of damage, will re-open on April 1st. Hooray!

[Guy Fawkes]

They acknowledged that fact, but said there would be no special promotions, deals or events connected to it.

Two weeks!

So if anyone is driving from LA to Palm Springs, has extra space in their vehicle and would be interested in someone else paying for the gas, etc., please send me a PM. I'm hoping to find a way out there on Thursday and back Monday, staying at Inndulge. I'm one of those semi-rare LA types who doesn't actually own a car.

 

Last year, I caught a ride out with some lovely young ladies heading to Coachella. SO much patchouli! SO much Wind Song perfume. (Who knew they still even made that?) It was a four hour flashback to my 60's & 70's childhood (with the addition of Halsey).

You could possibly take the Metrolink to Moreno Valley and grab an Uber or Lyft to PS if all else fails.

Any recommendations for a gym in PS? I spoke with the x-fit gym and they have an open gym. The hotel offers a free pass to Work Camp, which I couldn’t find online. I need a place with plenty of kettlebells, a good box and a GHD unit, if possible.
