We said good-bye to a best friend this month, Bob. If you have photos or a favorite story you could share, that would really be nice.

Dear Friends and Guests,
Winter struck last week with a bit of a high county snow storm closing off Tioga Pass for the season, the latest closing in 70 some years. Now, I know all of you who read this newsletter know that you can get to Yosemite and the Valley from this route in the winter, it doesn't matter that the pass is closed. Call 209-372-0200, Yosemite's information hotline, (1, 1) for roads & (1, 2) for weather. Usually there are no road restrictions, but you should always carry chains in your vehicle. The weather can change without much notice.

Holiday Gift Ideas
Did you know that we have a long running special that works out wonderfully for Holiday Gifts. You can purchase 10 of our $50 gift certificates for only $450, a 10% savings. Call ahead and we will have them customized in your name and ready to pick up or we can mail the whole bunch to you. Check out some of our other silly ideas 
Hotel Charlotte Kitch Gifts.

Winter Room Specials: Hotel Charlotte at dusk, with a special glow
This winter when you make an advance reservation, we will give you a complimentary room upgrade to our best available room at the time of check in. You must mention that you are a newsletter reader when you book your reservation. We can't guarantee that every night we will have one of the big rooms available when you check in, but if we do...its all yours!

More winter specials are posted online at Specials and Packages. Remember, only one special per visit!
