Thursday dinner and Friday breakfast will be your responsibility, as are accommodations.  You must make hotel or other accommodation reservations yourself.  You may want to consider getting together with several of your colleagues and reserving a VRBO or Airbnb.  There are some great options available, try searching for Winthrop, Twisp, or Mazama.  Consider arriving Wednesday evening and perhaps staying until Saturday to maximize your time in this scenic part of the state.  Several of us plan on hiking on Saturday if you’d like to join us.
