    There may be problems with this. First off, it looks like Lancaster and Carlisle are 80+ miles apart with Harrisburg in between them. From Harrisburg to Carlisle is about 20 miles.

    The motels in and around Carlisle charge almost double their normal rate for the days of the event. It is not unusual to see rates of $130 or more per night in Carlisle.

    To stay outside of Carlisle has another problem. In the morning, driving from the turnpike to the Carlisle fairgrounds is 10-15 minutes. In the evening going the other way, with everyone else leaving at about the same time, that same drive is often more than an hour (it is stop & go the entire distance). Now I haven't been to Carlisle in a few years, but friends I know that still go, say not much has changed in that regard.

    And I should add, that staying at the SDAC host hotel for the SDAC event should certainly be highly considered. There is so much going on at the host hotel that driving from it every evening makes it seem like "I'm really missing out on something."

    Lancaster has one main road, rt.30, and is very touristy, which is good for families but traffic is bad and being Fourth of July week, it will probably be worse. Make sure your cooling system is working well.

    True, but know that you will be spending a good amount of time in the car if you do that. Book your rooms for Carlisle ASAP as pretty soon, Lancaster may be as close as you will get.

    Yeah looks like Carlisle is out for me. 800-1000 for a hotel for 4 days is too rich for my blood. Still going to try and do SDAC though.

    Just as an example. A king room is a little less.

    SDAC-25 Host Hotel in process... please hold. It will be a bit far from Carlisle but focused around the SDAC-25 event locations.

    For Carlisle, if anyone has a hot ticket for a decent place to stay that is not overpriced with a bunch of rooms available please e-mail to jt@sdac.org
