Fw: [Geysers] OF lodge cabin NOW available 5/30-6/3

[Mike Jensen]

Dear Sirs,

Having planned a visit to Yellowstone National Park this summer, I recently subscribed to an internet listserver run by a group of informally organized geyser enthusiasts.  I was startled to subsequently receive a number of messages such as the one following below.  Apparently, this group routinely overbooks your company's lodging facilities at Old Faithful, and then trades accomodations amongst themselves.  I was appalled by the sentiment "...rooms in the UGB seem extremely tight,we thought we should give...fellow gazers first shot at it."

As a tax-paying citizen, I believe accomodations in a national park should be made available to the the public at large on an equal basis.

What is your company's policy regarding this situation?

Sincerely yours,

Michael P. Jensen

We have a reservation for an Old Faithful Lodge Frontier Cabin
for this summer that we have decided not to use.  It has one
double bed, $90.10 per night, arriving 5/30 (no longer 5/25) departing 6/3,
FOUR nights in all.  Since rooms in the UGB seem extremely tight,
we thought we should give late-planning fellow gazers (or  their
friends and family) first shot at it.  I'm at billmb at att.net.

My first posting of this was for NINE days, but one of the gazers
asked for the first five days, departing Memorial Day 5/30.
The remaining dates are Mon, Memorial Day night, and the next
few days through Thursday, departing Friday 6/3.

If I don't hear from anybody else I will probably release them
about 4/30, but THIS IS NOT A GUARANTEE.  I hope that all
the gazers who want to stay around OFI already have their dates.
