If they did this, it would be the Famous Smoke event. That's almost exactly how they handle it.

Anybody try booking a Room at Split Rock today? My god what a Pain in the ass! I kept getting a busy signal and after getting put on hold and dropped a few times gave up. I tried again around 11 AM and was on hold for 30 minutes before I finally reserved a room.

There certainly nothing but headaches this year. If I didn't live a half-hour away I don't think I would go anymore.

I had the same problems. This is my first year going so I hope all the pain is worth it. There has got to be a better process for both tickets and lodging.

I've stayed at Split Rock twice over the past few years. The first time was in one of the time-share condos and they had a maintenance man doing something outside at midnight. He banged on our door. The whole experience scared the crap out of us.

The second time, we booked a room and it was not very clean at all. All of the ceiling fixtures were full of bugs.

Both times, there were real headaches in getting reservations, similar to what is described here.
