The Host hotel is Laquinta in White City.
Thursday night meet & greet. Friday Looks like Brittain is willing to head up the AutoX setup. Although there isn't alot of that. It is more the logistic side of making sure we know there rules & follow them. BBQ lunch provided Saturday Show & shine to start the day. Then drive up to Crater Lake with a lunch somewhere in Route. Possibly have the show & shine that night (If not Saturday morning). Catered dinner & awards Sunday Is pretty much our standard SEE YAH (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) . There will be an optional drive to the coast. Everyone is welcome to head that way then break off. Or just head home as they want. Okay well this is the first of many posts for next years WCR Ramble. I do plan to make this the best overal WCR to date (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) |

Gang,
Jamie asked me to weigh in. I'm (almost) a Dredford resident. Our corporate offices (yes I have a day job) are there and I use to visit monthly. One of the contributions I'd like to offer would be a few suggestions for the Medford>Grants Pass>Crescent City drive. There are a couple of things that would set this off and make it a "Spectacular" WCC event. Number 1: The Redwoods at the end of the drive. There is parking along side the road and an "awesome" 40 minute circle (no orange cones, just pine cones) hike through the Redwoods. http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=413. No fees (so it's 914 CSOB friendly) but the pull off should be captured on someone's GPS as it could be missed through there. Imagine the memories people who have never done this before can take back with them. Number 2 - Patrick Creek Lodge for dinner. http://patrickcreeklodge.net/ This looks like a fun place and is usually packed around dinner time. It may be a little high-endish BUT... if you check out the site, they can handle "groups". You could also select a couple menue items and simply tell them, "we have a budget that we are paying for this out of and we need to watch the numbers." I would think you could get a Chicken, Fish, Beef option and keep it around $15.00 per plate. The drive is 2hrs 14min. non-stop, one-way (re: 5 hours in the car). I've found with various other car events that, if you can break it up with these fun things to do, it makes it seem fine for all. Timing it so the group can have dinner at a picturesque restaurant in the canyon would be the icing on the cake. Here's my take on that schedule: *Lunch - 11:00 11:30 at the hotel - Everyone should be fueled up (body and car) for the trip. *Depart Medford - 12:00 Noon *Redwoods - 2:30 - 3:30 - It will be tight so encourage all to get on the hike ASAP (it's worth it, time for pictures of cars, road and tress when they're done) *Depart to Crescent City - 3:30 *Crescent City 4:00 - 5:00 Oceanfront park? Bay with light house? Your call. Personally, I'm not a fan of Crescent City but, there can be some good scenery, especially the oceanfront. *Drive to Restaurant - 5:00 *Patrick Creek Lodge - 6:00 - 8:00 - Dinner *Drive to Medford - 8:00 - 9:30 Talk amongst yourselves.
