Thanks to Mike Starkebaum (Event Co-Chairman) for gathering the following information on lodging options for the 2016 National Event in South Dakota.

We have finalized the dates and location for the 2016 National Event. The event will be held June 27-29, 2016 and will be headquartered at Mystic Hills Hideaway near Deadwood, South Dakota. PLEASE GO TO THE SCRAMBLER FORUM TO STAY CURRENT WITH LODGING INFORMATION. Following is the current information-

Mike Starkebaum will get the reservations together for Mystic Hills.
Do NOT contact Mystic Hills with reservation requests - contact MIKE!
Mike needs to have everybody squared away before January 10th, 2016.
They’ve blocked off cabin and RV sites for us and will hold those for the SOA until the 10th and after that, they need to make them available to whomever as that’s a big holiday weekend for them. You’ll need to be out Friday morning (July 1) OR book through the weekend due to 4th of July holiday the following Monday. Please work together and team up with others to share cabins with others (helps on cost) and work with Mike to accommodate this.

Ye Ha. 1230 miles and 17 hours 39 minutes. :thumbsup:

Thanks for all the work of putting this together. :wave:
 
My email would be preferred for contact. Easier to keep everybody straight. 😊 My email address is mss6393@aol.com. After i have informed mystic hills of our reservation list on the 10th then people can call and confirm reservations and deposits. This is the "home" location of the 2016 National event and all cabins and camping spots are within a couple hundred yards of each other and the gazebo and tent headquarters. There will be several of us staying through the week with UTV AND ATV riding scheduled for later in the week. They have rentals for those who wish. Thanks for your patience but now is the time. I have already reserved half the cabins and one lodge room. Please dont wait. Gitrdun! Gonna be a great week. Looking forward to seeing ya"ll again. Merry Christmas everybody
 
Hi,
I'm not familiar with the SOA National Event. Can you describe the trail opportunities (private/public, rock/mud, etc.) a bit more?

Having a mostly stock Scrambler, I guess I'm curious if the Nationals event draws many stock Scramblers or those wanting 2-rated trails (max 3-rated trails).

Thanks in advance,
Jim

Update: Cabins 1 thru 8 are reserved and spoken for. There is one available cabin left and it is number 9. It has more beds and a hot tub with it. There is one lodge room left available and the room above the garage called the tree house is available. I have only taken three reservations for camping spots as well. I will be calling Mystic Hills next monday to finalize cabin reservations as well as camping sites. Please talk to everyone you know and have them contact me this week if they would like a spot or room at mystic hills. My email is mss6393@aol.com. Thank you

If you onow someone who was overlooked or someone who needs reservations please have them contact Michelle. This turned out to be way easier than i had anticipated. Thanks everybody. Mike
 
Thanks for getting this lined out Mike!

Adams Family confirmed cabin #5 reservation with Michelle this morning.

We check in June 24 and check out July 1.
 
My wife Karen and I are booked in the Treehouse! Looking forward to meeting everyone and checking out the awesome wheeling Scrams. My baby is only good for scenic trails (so you wouldn't be alone CJ-8_Jim), but I'm hoping to see some of the others in action on the tougher trails. I guess at a minimum I should figure out why she won't go into 4L before then ;)
 
There are really spots to get to to be able to watch extreme wheeling in South Dakota. Lots of scenic stuff in the area to enjoy as well. Look forward to meeting you
 
We are in cabin #1. Looking forward to seeing everyone. :bacon: :wave:
