Winter Cruise?

So Cal means sunny skies most of the year, that being said.....
Lets entertain ideas for a cruise Nov/Dec time frame, weather permitting, maybe in conjunction with a food/toy drive for one of the holidays...WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Palm Springs could be a good destination....

IM IN AND WILL BE READY FOR THAT
I ALSO HAVE PICS FROM SAT OF U GUYS I WILL POST THIS WEEK

That sounds like a great idea Vince... I hope I can be a part of it... Sometimes just getting out is a pain in the rear.. thank god I live in Cali... in fact Gabe popped by the house last Friday and we were discussing a simple dinner drive with the wifes. So Cal is just too sweet, but it's tough with little folk running round, and their events have us tried up as well. Any way... If it's possible I will be there to support the cause and drive my Speedie!

Speedster "D" out!

Vince and Esther,

A winter run sounds good to me. Jo Ann leaves for Paris next week and I will be on a long range fishing trip for the better part of December. November is best for us. I can probably get the car cleaned up by then.

Keep in mind that Nov/Dec in Palm Springs is the height of the season, so very crowded and expensive. It would be fun cruisin downtown. Maybe we could leave the wifes home and cruise with the White Party? Nah, fargetaboutit, not a good idea. They would know right away that we are not one of them. How about golf? Anybody want to play a round? I did put two sets of clubs in the Speedy, but didn't drive anywhere. Anyway, let me know if I can help with anything. I will check for good events in town.

...Nov-Dec might be a good time to run with Esther's idea to cruise through Julian, Lt. Laguna, etc. and end in Warner Springs. Lots of nice 2-lane roads meandering through the hills/desert of Anza Borrego and Warner Springs is a nice resort-style destination (plus they have a nice course for those who golf).

November would work out best, and it's not so far off. I should be able to get my car cleaned by then (after Kevin running us through the dust at the winery parking lot and the ash from the Ventura fires).

Either way, we're in! I need another chance to win on a Poker Run!!

Peace - Out!

I thought about combining this thread with Esther's, East county San Diego is beautiful, but I have been to Julian and Palomar in the rain and snow, I have not seen snow in Palm Springs. I'm thinking her run could be decided last minute as a day cruise, depending on weather, where a P.S. run has a better chance for good weather with more time to prepare.....Rooms are more expensive in winter, but everything is open....Also If I'm not mistaken I used to judge a concours there in November, I'll look it up and post later..

alrighty then...Palm Springs activities.... Nov 4th-5th Gay pride Parade...24th-25th Arts and Crafts in the park......
Any other ideas???

Winter runs sound cool hope were not working .Palm Springs -rememeber no protruding parts. Thinking of a one day run thru Santiago Canyon/ Yorba Linda route ending at Orange circle, alot of cool vintage stores and food places date: Sunday October 1, 2006
anyone interested?? L8 Cabanaboy OUT !! P.S. got the pictures from Brad hope too post soon.

I vote for P.S. in December ...let's do some sort of toy run there. We have never been there that time of year..what's the weather like in Dec?? we can bundle up and put BIG red bows in front of our cars..ok,ok I'm getting carried away. But I do like Vince's idea.

FYI...On the 1st Saturday each month the palmspringscruisnassociation.com has a show from 4-8 pm at the Spa Casino. Just $5 dollars enters any car. Their flyer says they have Trophies, Raffle, and Games?!

P.S. weather in Dec is mid 70"s-low 80's during the day but the nights CAN get nippy! Temp can drop into the high 40's-low 50's a few hours after Sundown.

Brrrrrrr. down to the 50's, I hope the East Coasters aren't reading this, they may think we are a bunch of pussies....

50'S
NOT SURE I CAN MAKE IT
IM USE TO THE 120+ WEATHER OF ARIZONA :)

Just turn up that VERY efficient heater thats inside our huge cars and you will be so hot you won't be able to stand it!!!!

...just as a matter of reference, the picture below depicts SoCal weather during Spring, Summer and Winter (at least when the place isn't burning to the ground or old buildings crumbling during an earthquake!).

I lived in San DEeggo last year, and I have never seen so much rain. I moved. Couldn't hack the rainforrest.

Vince,

Nov. sounds good, but, not on the Gay day!!!!!!!!!
