2025 WoodSToc 3 - Aug 14-17, 2025 - Kingsclear, NB

Cabins! My friend Brent, who was part of the festivities last summer, and who lives very near River Run Resort, tells me that there's been a crew working on cabin interiors every day lately, getting them ready for snowmobilers! So yes, we'll apparently have options beyond those delectable domes! There'll be room for an explosion of numbers of attendees!

So folks have a choice: be a Camper, a Cabinite or a Dome Dome.
 
Further to the above, if you're fortunate enough to have a copy of Max's, "These are a few of my favourite roads", dig it out and read the section on Newfoundland. If you don't have a copy, get one. And if you're sittin' on the fence about going, jump down, spin around, and go!
 
Had a look at River Run Resort yesterday, specifically the nicely finished cabin interiors. Four are complete, I'm told the fifth will be finished in plenty of time for our event. These have one bedroom with a queen bed, and a pull-out in the front room. Fridge, microwave, small oven if you'd like to bake cookies, and naturally a coffee maker. The last unit is a two bedroom, so if you find you have trouble falling asleep, try the other bed!
All the comforts of home, heat and air looked after by a mini-split. I'm waiting for rates and booking information, and will advise soon.

Rates: Cabins are $130. per night, and domes are $195. (plus tax)
Dome pictures can be seen on their website, as well as some booking info. http://riverrunresort.ca/index.html
I plan to ask regarding some details like cancellations, at what point are credit cards charged, etc., and will report!
Things are pretty quiet at the resort at this time of year, so don't expect a genie to come out of a bottle the moment you make a phone call!

When I booked our dome last year online, it said 50% due upon booking, but they processed the full shabang amount at that time.

For those wanting domes, they have (or at least had) a private deck out back, propane bbq, hot tub and pellet stove (on top of what cabins seem to have.) They also had fire pits and had a small stream / brook running right behind them. We all spent a few nights with adult sodas, telling jokes and stories around the caveman TV after a day's riding.
 
It's time for some accommodation details!
This year looks very positive! We're being offered both domes and cabins - there are three domes available, as well as 6 cabins. They're set aside for our WoodSToc event, so to reserve one for your very own, a phone call [506-461-8582] to Dena's cell, with credit card in hand, is the way forward! At this off-season time of year, she may have to return your call. She's agreed that with a credit card number, you'll have a personal hold which can be cancelled up until July 1st. After that date, you'll be charged even if you're a no-show. However, should you find yourself under the sod, or in some similar pitiful circumstances, an exception might be possible.
Domes are special indeed, and cabin interiors are brand spankin' new, so satisfaction guaranteed! Personally, I'm happy to report I'll be staying in a cabin at the resort, instead of having to buzz on home each night...
Rates: Domes - $195/night and cabins - $145/night.
 
Ah, how sweet it is! To be out and about in wonderful warm weather on a trusty two-wheeled conveyance, feeling the warm air, and the curves in the road, and with no time constraints! This was my lot yesterday, when I met the illustrious "Obo" for a some lunch not far from River Run Resort. (and yes, I did have pie) We inspected the cabins at the resort, yes - happy places, all in a row. We had a long pleasant conversation about motorcycles and summer, no politics. Reached a mutual agreement that at this year's event, there'll be no rain, no crashes, and no shortages of food, bathroom stops, or classy comradery.
Got questions? Obo has answers, just ask...
 
As you can see the by the guest list, the event's filling up fast..... Well, at least the date is getting closer. (87 days from today.)

(just a photo - no bad memes..)

If you're interested in attending this year's event, chime in here, and/or toss your name on the RSVP list so we have an idea about planning. Also, if there's anything you'd like to see, do or visit - add that in as well and we'll see what we can accomplish in the time we have. This event is only made possible by the attendance of greats folks, such as each of you!

I'll be arriving fresh off our Newfoundland tour, hopefully with Happy Rob & maybe his loverly +1.

We may keep the ride routes similar to previous years with routes West & South to the Hartland covered bridge & St. Andrew's by the Sea areas, or we might do something new and different in different directions (North & East.) Again, feel free to chime in with your thoughts.

I'll be checking in here periodically for updates.

Thanks!

Obo.
 
Received a text from the resort today, they're getting inquiries from the public re the domes. Would like us (those that are looking forward to staying in a dome) to reserve shortly. Personally, I'll be picking a cabin.
 
No more folks have chimed in recently that they are coming, so I'd say let the domes go.

I'm not planning on renting a dome (done that last year, and a cabin will save a me few $$ after my Nfld trip), and I doubt Rob or Jim will be doming or cabining as they both have trailers.

As it stands, and if I'm correct, that means only 2 cabins for Catcher & Obo.

I'd love to have more folks come or just show up (last year was a wonderful crowd!) but we're only 67 days out. No amount of bad memes will help fix this, but I would be willing to try.... <smirk>

I think the resort's request is more than reasonable.
