Where are the majority of people staying. There are hotels outside of Kirtland but I don’t know which is closest. Can someone clue me in. I want to register and plan my trip.
Hello, I have some questions about the Kirtland temple tour, such as arrangements with places to stay or transportation perhaps a bus or car pooling, etc.?
The Red Roof at I-90 and #306 ph. 440.946.9872 is the best of the cheaper places to stay. $90 / night.
There are no buses along that road 306 so you need a car or call a cab service 440-749-0468.
People might carpool after the events, since a few people will have cars.
Hi all –
Just a note regarding my presentation on The Female Hero: I referred to a practice called gaslighting, which is a psychological manipulation technique. Only I misspoke and called it greenlighting 🙂
Just wanted to set the record straight.
Thanks to everyone who came!
