Raleigh, North Carolina. There are literally a dozen hotels in the northern beltline of Raleigh. Id like to stick to two major areas:
Hotel Info
The prices reflect average $Price (Rating)
Wake Forest Rd Area:
Days Inn Raleigh North Beltline: $47 (3.7 out of 5)
Residence Inn Raleigh Midtown: $79 (4.5 out of 5)

Sunday: Pack-up, Get ready for checkout, and say good-bye.... Breakfast/Lunch will be had, so don't just leave!

What Should I Bring?
Your car (duh), your friends, your wives, kids, dogs, whoever and whatever you want. Nothing illicit, but we are going to have FUN! If you bring your 2nd/3rd Gen Prelude, 3rd Gen Accord, or 1st Gen Integra, GREAT! If not, we are enthusiasts, we understand downtime, just bring whatever it takes to get you here!

Lets get a chain going, to see how many people are wanting to attend. Please also note if you were interested in Adventure Land, so I can give them a heads up on how many of us will be going.

Updated Park Info!
Alright, we have decided on a park! We will be picnicking at William B. Umstead National Park in Raleigh. We will be reserving a shelter, just in case of rain or whatever else, enough for 50 people or so. I intend on getting a specific shelter, closer to our hotels, but it might not happen that way. We'll just play it by ear. Heres directions anyway:

For the shelter, Myself and another member have agreed to putting up $40 of the reservation fee, anyone or ones want to donate to the fund? If not, not a big deal.
