As I recall, the last convention in Albuqerque also coincided with the
bowler's convention. Sure a lot more bowlers than soaring pilots!

The problem with the idea of staying in a cheaper motel is that most of
them are outside walking distance, and the cost of a car rental pretty
much eliminates any cost savings.

Does anyone know the names of any cheap motels within walking distance?

That's OK it wasn't me asking :-)
