Fall Color Tour October 4-5. Travel on US 2 (Stevens Pass) and return over
         the North Cascade Highway. We have talked with Sun Mountain Lodge in Winthrop and
         made arrangements for one overnight stay, Saturday October 4.
         
         After two years of efforts to secure a reasonable rate for club members, we have
         secured eight AAA Four Diamond Rooms in the Lodge with a Valley View for $100, plus
         tax; and 14 Lodge Mountain View AAA Four Diamond Rooms at $110, plus tax.
         Other rooms are available from $150 to $324 per night.
         
         In order to secure the group rate, rooms must be reserved by August 15. Each
         member is responsible for making their own reservations at 1-800-572-0493 or
	 1-509-996-4724.
         Ask for the MG Club Rate for Saturday. October 4, 2008.
         
         Additionally, while no Saturday night dinner is scheduled, there are several options:
           •  Dinner in Winthrop at a number of local eating establishments
           •  Dinner at the Lodge restaurant
           •  The Cowboy Camp Dinner: attendees will be transported to the original ranch
              below the Sun Mountain Lodge by horseback or by horse-drawn covered wagon.
              Dinner consists of barbeque steaks or chicken; country fried potatoes; cornbread or
              biscuits; baked beans; corn-on-the cob (if available); vegetables; salads; homemade
              desserts. Not only will you have a great dinner, you will feel like you have stepped
              back in time to the late 1880s. The cost is $40 per person
         
         Can you visualize our members on horseback??
         
         Additionally, the Sales Manager at Sun Mountain has provided suggestions for several
         road trips on Sunday prior to the return trip home over the North Cascade Highway.
