Humboldt Rooms

I have reserved 5 rooms for Chips at Sherwood Forest for the evening of Oct 15 Humboldt Half Marathon on Oct 16. Rooms will be available to chips who contact me on a first come first serve basis. This hotel is very nice to us keeping two rooms open for us to shower and change after the run. They are in Garberville which is a short freeway drive to the race start. The rooms I have and their prices (after our discount) are:

single Queen (1 bed) $66.00

double Queen (2 beds) $85.80

triple queen (3 beds) $99.00

Right now (as usual) they are all reserved as a block on my credit card. If there is a lot of interest, I may be able to get a few more rooms, but they are always sold out so don't wait too long before letting me know you want a room.
