RMAF 2009 tips?


Any insider tips for a 1st timer? Need info. regarding lodging options, things to avoid, must see's, etc. Never been to an audio show or had the chance to audition much in the Knoxville, TN area. Still an avid audiophile though, with much thanks to y'all and audiogon. Currently a very satisfied listener and music lover but would love to attend RMAF this year and hear things for myself.

If you drive to Estes park - Highly recommended - and Rocky Mountain National Park - I strongly suggest you be there from about 3pm to dark and you have a great chance of seeing Big Horn Sheep and Elk literally come up to your car. It's only 1 1/4 hours drive from S. Denver.
Yes, thanks people. May try to incorporate a few extra days to see the sights. We have done that in the past. Had a nice trip to Olympia national park in Washington by flying in and renting a car. No reservations, just playing it by ear. The "Hall of Mosses" in the park is fabulous. Also thought Cape Flattery was very nice. Paradise Inn at Mt Ranier was very interesting.

Taking in the premier north american audio show and all else the area has to offer, sounds like a great mini-vacation. Can't wait.
