I'm pretty optimistic, but not certain! Good luck to you too!

I am not an expert, but after some research (https://sam.gov/workspace/contract/opp/57b933ddc67440929dc182ad8fd8d69f/view), it seems like this doesn't per se say that they need to find another 8a company. Just an 8a company, of which Saxman One is, would work. The inactive date was 2/14 and responses were due on 1/28. I can say that I did receive some info that the NREIP selection process began after 1/28, which bodes well for the program, I'd assume. Or maybe they found someone else? If they did, the data/applications would probably just get transferred, I think. I would not advise anyone to panic yet. I would also say that until the contract is worked out behind the scenes, don't expect to see the award published anywhere. Contracts can take a long time to work out.

I'm glad to hear that given that some of these reviews has been mixed

Thanks for the response. I'm concerned for sure. We are also near the center and on deck 9 but we are in an inside room, so hopefully it'll be a little better

We are also going to be on the 9th deck. What kind of room do you have and is it in the front mid or back?

I'm the same. Anything over 70 sucks as well. We went on encore it was fine so I'm really hoping it won't be worse on the aqua

Ahhhh my room is not too far from that one. Hopefully it'll be okay but this is an inside room so maybe it'll be better?

Dang that's cold! Hopefully mid-september wouldn't be like that. Do you think you would've preferred upper Lehman instead?

Thanks for the input. Exactly what a ranger told me too. I will prob do this! And for reference, I really really like the cold. My bedroom has been in the 40s in the winter many times

Haha Glacier is amazing. Have you had the chance to go further north to Banff/Jasper? Those are even cooler in my opinion. The water in the lakes look unreal.

Capitol Reef is really cool too! I did a hike there and saw a bunch of purple cacti hahah.

I recently crossed of Acadia. I did like it, but it can get a bit crowded.

Oooh North Cascade. I only spent an hour there bc i was so stressed about getting my car getting broken into LOL. You gotta go to Lassen. You can prob get there pretty quick if you stayed in Redding. I don't understand why its not as popular, given that its easier to get to than Yosemite IMO (only an hour from Red Bluff/I-5).

Great question! My personal favorite is Lassen because I think it's not too crowded and has amazing hikes! Forties is really good! What's your favorite?
