WARNING - MAJOR ASSESSMENTS TO OWNERS COMING SOON TO SUPPORT THE RML MOTEL BUSINESS!

Please see Deer Ridge Mountain Resort - An Economic Prediction For 2008-2010 - An Open Letter to the Deer Ridge Board of Directors and All Owners.  Read this to find out the consequences we all face because the Board continues to insist that we stay in the motel business.

Status on the Sale of RML

See How Selling RML Could Give Every Owner A One Time Distribution = $5,000 to $10,000 Per Unit! 

Even with this GREAT one time opportunity, the Board is doing NOTHING to sell RML before it costs ALL owners more money - a LOT more money!

If you want to see why we should sell RML and how we can make so much per owner, click Sell RML.

Flash Update! Case Closed by Margie???

Apparently, Margie and the Board have decided to "close the case" on selling RML...not matter how much sense it makes for all owners that RML be sold ASAP.  Click Case Closed??? for details!

The Economics of Deer Ridge

Do you know how the decisions of Ridge Management Ltd are very negatively affecting the economics of your condo ownership at Deer Ridge? 

Read Firing RML to better understand the price you are paying and how much you are losing under the current rental pool agreement.

Flawed Math and Flawed Logic

We continue to find that the Board and RML use VERY flawed math and logic to justify many of their actions.  It is not clear if they do this out of ignorance or as a way to deceive and manipulate the owners of Deer Ridge.

Maybe you can tell by reading the email that was sent to Vic and Joe that you can see by clicking Flawed Math and Flawed Logic.

Map Updates for Deer Ridge

On October 24, 2005, I filed a report with Navteq, the company that controls the database for all of the online and Garmin mapping sources, that they were all incorrectly routing to Deer Ridge Resort.  This was my original filing:

---------------------------------

The driving directions given by your software to Deer Ridge Mountain Resort, 3710 Weber Road, Gatlinburg, Tennessee 37738 is incorrect...If you type in for driving directions via Google, Yahoo or Mapquest, they will get you close...but NOT here....all of them make the same error when you get close...telling you to turn on Martha McCarter Road.....which is a road that no longer exists. please see the last map below for the right yellow brick road. This error is causing our resort guests to be badly misrouted on Yahoo, MapQuest, Google and Garmin. Please advise on what has to be done to correct this...and when these mapping resources will be updated with the correct information.
 
Thanks,

Dear Robert ,
 
We are pleased to inform you that our investigation of your reported Map Feedback has been completed. Here is the detailed resolution from our database tracking system:
 
Through Field Verification it was found that Martha McCarter Road no longer continues through to Weber Road. The database has been adjusted to reflect this change. Also the POI Deer Ridge Mountain Resort has been added at 3710 Weber Road. The NAVTEQ database is now correct.
 
NAVTEQ delivers regularly scheduled map updates to our business partners which include many database enhancements. The release dates for these products will vary depending on each individual business partner. If you are interested in an updated map for your navigation system, please contact your system provider. In some instances, updates may be available through NAVTEQ.com. Please reference the following link:

Please let us know if you find any additional areas that we need to review. Once again, thank you for contacting us and for visiting our website.
 
Sincerely,
Barbara, Consumer Support Specialist
NAVTEQ
---------------------------------

It's unclear how long it will take for these changes to propagate to the various mapping services...maybe up to six months...but at least this is a start and will hopefully go a LONG way to solving on the major hassles for Deer Ridge guests.
