Opelika Okey Dokey Lodging Options
Hey Rollers, today's blog post is a bit different than ususal, but hey, so are we.
Sorry for the delay this week, Samson had relationship duties yesterday to fulfill (dinner with girlfriend's family & 1 year anniversary).
For many of you Rollers, one year may not sound like a big deal, in fact, most of you have been doing Gravel Roll longer than that. But for Samson, it's a signifier that our lad is growing up, settling down, and enjoying the finer parts of life. Tis the season of love after all! And with that we have some very lovely news to get to, well not so much news, but certainly lovely.
The folks over at Auburn Opelika Tourism are big fans of our Gravel Roll community and have graciously put together a wonderful list of lodging options for all you rollers!
You can thank Karen at AO Tourism for putting this information together for us!
