That's 20 cars and 32 SOC'ers
Motel info for those spending the night....
Days Inn Buellton
the phone number is 805 688-8448
114 E Highway 246 (at the 101)
Solvang is about 30-45 minutes past Santa Barbara off the 101,
but there are other ways to get there. Santa Barbara is about 2 hours from L.A....
I would recommend the coast (hiway 1) from the Topanga Ranch motel
as we do for Morro Bay and then on to Las Posas rd to the 101 to pick up any Valley cars,
101 to Santa Barbara and then Canyons around Solvang....
I don't think we should leave later than 10:00 from Topanga location so lets say we meet at the motel
at 9:45....Jim can gather the O.C. cars and meet me at the Starbucks corner Artesia/Hawthorne S/E corner
8:45-9:00
A decision can be made prior to leaving the Topanga Ranch Motel as to which route to take in Santa Barbara,
keeping in mind the construction on the 154....
I will be holding a Poker Run in conjunction with the days activities, and giving cards out at various locations
winner to be decided at last winery of the day...there will be a boy prize and a girl prize, that I will supply,
if you wish to bring a prize you may do so, and winners can pick from the pile....
Lunch is planned once we arrive in Solvang, but a location has not been decided at this time. I think it would
be nice to find a place that can seat us all, but that may not be possible, any suggestions will be appreciated.
I think there was a place near the 101 freeway at the Solvang exit that could handle us, but my mamory is trashed
as to it's name... Maybe it's the Hitching Post that LeeAnn mentioned, Perhaps if someone will be there Friday,
they can find a suitable lunch spot..or Dinner for that matter.
So I guess I'm saying the lunch/Dinner issue has not been resolved at this time....A.J. Spurs was also recommended and may be a good dinner spot.....
No body has recommended any wineries, so I plan on looking at a map and choosing three that I am fimiliar with, one that has a tour that we may take...right now I am thinking Fess Parker and Firestone as two of the ones that are up-scale...
Please chime in with any thoughts, this run is for all of us, not just me......
