Motel 1066

“We’ll keep an electric candle on for you”.  (hey if a barn was good enough for Mary and Joseph it is good enough for you!).  I will once again take on the task of Inn Keeper; send all emails and reservation requests to me at GEBARBER2001@YAHOO.COM

I have 5 external and 28 internal 10×10 barn stalls available for the event.   All stalls are on a first come basis, the cost is $20 for the weekend.  All proceed go to the Baronial Travel fund.

The stalls all have a half door, you will want to bring cloth covers for privacy.  The ground is dirt but with a plastic tarp and carpet or two you will be sleeping in luxury (well at least for a camping site anyway).

Rules for Motel 1066:

  • There is no maid service at this Motel so, please clean up after yourselves.
  • Propane heaters and lanterns are OK for use in the building but please no open flames.
  • Do not leave your propane heater, stove, or lantern alone.  Not even for a minute.
  • No camp fires in the barns
  • Please be respectful of your neighbors as the walls are thin and full of gaps.
