Call 719 622-0300 and ask for the IAFF rate of $178 a night.  If you go online, it shows the hotel as sold out so call and ask for the IAFF rooms.  We will be joining the IAFF riders on the 15th for a day ride and then again for the ceremonies on the 16th.  The Fire Hogs will be leaving for CO on the morning of the 9/12 from Victorville HD at 0800 hrs. first stop will be Beaver Utah 410 miles, next stop is Gunnison CO 411 miles, then on the 14th it is a 200-mile ride going through the Monarch Pass into Colorado springs.  We will leave on the morning of the 17th stopping at Beaver Utah- 592 miles on the 17th and then home 410+ miles.  There are lots of available hotels in Beaver and Gunnison.   Fire Hog Coordinators include SDFD Mike Merriken (928 515-4219), SDFD Dave Allen (619 920-4811), and LAFD Darin Evans(951 440-3355).
