Rooms are $55 per night and they are reserving the whole back corner for us(see pic). Tell them your with the group "Porsche 914" so you get a room in the right spot. Parking is right outside the rooms. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

FRIDAY NIGHT BBQ!
Thanks to our local member Nelson, there will be a BBQ on Friday night. $5-$10 donation.

The Saturday drive will be a 70 mile run up Highway 4. Taking us up to 10,000' through some great winding roads! Lunch along the way will be at Los Ojo's! You can choose to come back the same way or go to Santa Fe and make the loop. Thank you Nelson(Madswede) for putting the drive together. See map.

Saturday night, dinner and awards will be at very 914 friendly Turtle Mountain Brewery. (1 mile from the hotel) Props to Nico for making room for us during their 15th anniversary weekend!

Sandy and I are thinking about driving down if we can shovel her car out the snow... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) So, We are still on the fence.

I have a snow blower on its last legs if that will help.

I am on the fence because I built the engine and tranny last year and wonder if the car will make 3,000 miles. And also something else could fail I suppose. Can I use the summer tires, or is it going to be up into the frozen passes?

But, tell me it won't be snowing down south and I could be persuaded.

It won't be snowing down here in late March. Unless it snows, of course. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) The drive is planned for a trip into the local mountains, but I doubt we'll do that if there's a chance of snow. It's hard to predict in the high desert, but it's very rare we have snow (or anything like it) at that time of year. Some of the other mountain passes I can't say.
