Our reunion planners took it upon themselves to head out to Colorado Springs and visit the Cheyenne Mountain Resort. There they are finalizing all the details of our reunion with Louisa, our event planner at CMR. During the trip, they are sending in photos and updates. I am posting them as I receive them. This place looks fantastic. Come on August !!!!
The following is included in an email "Trip Report" from the advance team
The three of us, with Ellen, Holly and Joani along to keep us focused, completed an intensive and thorough inspection of the Cheyenne Mountain Resort on 16-19 May 12. We are pleased to report that it met or exceeded our expectations on every inspection criteria (Resort layout, assigned reunion venue, overall facility look and feel, classiness, staff attentiveness and expertise, food quality, beverage suitability, grand vistas, easy accessibility, available activities, golf course beauty and difficulty, and a few others which we were too inebriated to remember). In summary, you're gonna love it--trust us on this!
We checked out the golf course (a Pete Dye butt-kicker) and a few of the local attractions--and found all to be spectacular. Louisa said that for groups of eight or more, the Resort would arrange bus transportation to any and all non-golf sites and activities that we choose to pursue. So, if you find something you want to do on Saturday between get-up and the evening sit-down dinner, let us know. When we reach a count of eight, we'll alert Louisa to reserve transportation. The list of non-golf activities is attached--but don't be limited by that--get on the Internet and find others that may interest you. We made side trips to the Broadmoor Hotel, Manitou Springs, Garden of the Gods, USAFA, and Pikes Peak, and found all to be simply spectacular (vistas, shopping, food, beverage, setting, museums, etc.).
Bottom line--we're looking forward to seeing you! This is going to be great fun, and maybe more.
