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

[V]

The whole group does this? 
Routinely? 

It seems to me that the person made a reservation and
could no longer go.  Did you see the inital post on this?

The person did book a reservation that was equally 
open to anyone... and it's still theirs. 

Many places allow a transfer of a reservation if one can 
no longer go.  

This seems blown out of proportion... Sigh
