Attending Paso Robles?

805 501-6774

Gerd -

On the Los Posas/101 Junction (in Camarillo) there is a plaza on the south-west corner (ocean side of 101). There are a few eateries (Wendy's, McDonald's ,etc.) there where you can hang out until we get to that location.

PM me so we can exchange cell numbers and I will call you Friday morning when we are about 10 minutes away from that junction. We should be reaching that location around 10:00-10:30 Friday morning.

From the weather forcasts it appears that the two travel days will be subject to varying amounts of precipitation over most of Southern California. I've cancelled my reservations at the Adeleid Hotel so anybody who wasn't able to get reservations might be able to pick up the room I had reserved. I Hope the weatherman is wrong, but . . .

Bill -

Sorry to hear that you won't be making it! We'll miss your company. I can appreciate your concern about the inclement weather, though - imagine what Angela went through driving her Spyder in a snow covered Oregon pass.

Catch you on the rebound! Peace - Out!

Jim Call me when you get to Santa Maria and I will join the caravan at Los Berros/Thompson Road. Cell 760-674-8805
Gerd Please take a shower.

You guys traveling from SoCal to Paso on Friday better pack your ponchos. Weather dude says 50/50 chance of rain for L.A. and thunderstorms are predicted for the Central Coast region for all day Friday.

Saturday in Paso Robles looks mostly dry, but not too warm (low 60's).
Then, Sunday, for the drive home - more rain.

I'm betting the hotel will have more open rooms than just Bill George's.

Tell me again why we do this in April?

Warren - Roger That!! See you on Friday afternoon!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those about to drive ...I salute you!!! I'll be leaving Saturday early a.m. when does the event start, if any one wants to ride together let me know ( I have no top ) Cabanaboy - no raincoats!!

I'm heading up Saturday am as well. Not as worried about the weather as I am with all the work I need to finish before the week ends. You boys drive safe Friday. Stay dry.

I THINK IM HEADING TO HAVASU
F THE RAIN

Ok - WE MADE IT!! It snowed, sleeted and rained. I kept having to stop and warm up even with ski clothes on... But the spyder and I are checked into Adelaide Inn. We are either very late for our check in today or very early for tomorrow's....

By the way - GERD BRING A LIGHT ITS VERY VERY DARK HERE!!!

***Southbound Detour****

For you guys heading down I-5 that intend to take 41 across to Cholame (great shortcut) you are not going to get a shortcut... 41 is closed. You take 33 to afghanistan and then turn to 46... I am really tired and didn't check the odometer but I think its a good 50 miles longer than the old shortcut...

angela

Thanks Angela. I'll check on the caltrans site. Scott Sloan stopped for the night in Medford and will be at my place before noon. I think. How do you keep 'em warm?

We will see you Friday.

NUTZ! If I knew Scott was stopping in Medford, he could have stayed at our house. The garage had a nice empty spot smack in the middle.

Of course, as much as Steve likes Scott's car, there may have been an issue when Scott tried to leave with it!!

By the way, the sun is out, there is not a cloud in the sky. What an AWESOME day! I have to work for a while today and then clean the car. Oh good heavens the car is really really filthy....

angela

Angela, if you had diamond-plate floors and a go-kart interior instead of that sissy carpet, you could just pressure-wash it!
Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk ...

The weather forecast is only right a percentage of the time, 50% means that there is also a 50% chance that it won't rain....

Please don't tell Vince about Santa Claus or The Tooth Fairy, either.

Angela -

Glad to hear you made it safely to Paso! Now have a hot cup of cocoa and catch up on your sleep!

See ya on Friday!

Santa Claus! Tooth Fairy! Please don't tell me 'Festivus' is also bogus!

John, you could screw up a wet dream...

Desi, Chad and anybody else going up the 101 on Saturday:
I'm in Woodland Hills and will be leaving at 8:00 AM on Saturday Morning for Paso Robles.
How about a Saturday Morning Caravan?
We can meet in the El Camino Shopping Center at Mulholland and the Ventury Freeway at 8:00 (Coffee Roaster?).
Or, I'm open to suggestions.

who is bailing on this trip due to the rain
i really am thinking about it myself

The only thing I'm bailing is water if it's raining along the way...
Pussies.....

NO pussing out! I drove the spyder down, got SNOWED on - you guys had better show! Tired of talking to myself.
angela

Angela, I won't let you down, unless of course down is where you prefer to be.....

...you BETTER do as the lady says, guys.

Remember this VERY IMPORTANT formula;

IF; Red Hair + Estrogen = deadly destructive force!

THEN: (Angela + Heinous Drive in Snow/Freezing Weather) x (Hours of Driving) = Someone's in for a Serious Ass-Whupping (or at least some major dissing)

I'm totally there! Saturday should be great. Same weather report as last year and we had a great time.
-=theron

Tell'em Vince! A little rain ain't no Thang!
We do it all the time at Carlisle.
And speaking of Bailing...

Jim Ignacio and all coming from the South

If you guys get off the 101 at Los Berros/Thompson exit, turn left and go 4.6 miles to the stop sign and then turn left. Go 1/4 mile to Hwy 1, turn right and go through Oceano, Grover Beach and into Pismo Beach, it is a fun drive. Besides that I will be positioned about a 1/4 before that stop sign, on a curve in the road, taking your picture as you come around the curve. Smile and stay at least 50 yards apart so I can get all the cars. I took some practice pics today. I think you'll like them. Give me a call when you get to Tefft Road so I can get into position. Rain or shine, I will be there, so smile even if you're freezen your arse. Think of Angela. There ain't no damn snow in these parts.

Jim I.
You seem to understand all these places where we are picking people up, I am not taking notes, I expect you to follow through with all this... Too much for my small mind to compute....
Warren's suggestion seems reasonable....(if it's not pouring)
add his directions to your notes.....Please

OK, Speedster Crazies, Sharon and I sat at the Topanga Motel for hours and no one showed up !!! Just kidding! We flew in this morning and met with John Steele (what a generous guy !!), drove into Malibu for lunch, found the Topanga Motel so we knew where to go in the morning and are now just enjoying a quiet time here at the hotel. Wow ... no snow, no wind. This cannot be real :) See you in the morning. (I be the guy with the powder blue speedy, the good looking blonde and the big grin)

Drive safe, drive fast, grin wide ... drive dry!
Dusty

picked mine up from JPS today. Its all washed and waxed and put away for the summer

Hey all you crazy people and Vince! Looking forward to tomorrow rain or shine, Dad and I were just debating it on the phone. He is a bit worried about the rain, I said its just rain, it will be fine!!! Anyway, we are leaving the South Bay at 9:30 and will meander our way up there. Safe driving to all and looking forward to seeing everyone again.

PS: Dusty the straps are AWESOME!!! Do you have a speedster this time? I wasn't sure if your were serious, regardless look forward to seeing you and your luvurly lady again.

Lester. I'll be heading up 101 Saturday...I'll probably leave downtown LA around 7-8 myself. I'll get in touch with you tomorrow about a possible caravan.

JIM WE STILL MEETING AT LOS ARCOS

Warren - Roger That! I'll call at Tefft.

Vince - Roger That! Took notes.

Dusty - See you & Sharon at the Topanga Ranch Motel! Sleep tight!

Jennifer - Have a safe trip! See ya in Paso.

If that's at the junction of Los Posas & 101 Hwy, Roger That! I'll call you when we get close to your location. See ya Gerd!

Oh SUN glorious SUN!!!! The clouds have parted, the speedstahs are here and Vince has brought alcohol. This will be my last coherent post today...
