First three options are in Wimberly, where Hill Country Guitars and a couple of possible activities is located. It's a lovely town in the hill country with stuff for partners not interested in guitars to do. I think Kevin says he's about 20 minutes south of the Collings factory.

Option 4, the Extended Stay, is where most of us stayed last year. It's in South Austin,. about 15 minute north of the Collings factory. Austin also will offer lots of guitar shops and music venues for us.

Any of the above will be a short drive from anything we do together.

Maybe in a few years, as the gathering grows, we can book several rooms and a great porch at one place, and take the whole thing over. That will just take more (and earlier) committments, but it's something we ought to throw around when we're together.
