QUOTE(JStroud @ Feb 12 2014, 05:07 PM)  Hotel will be the MontBleu Resort Casino & Spa I hope this isn't a sign of things to come, but i just had the worst experience booking a room with them over the phone this AM. Me: Do you have rooms with a lake view available? Them: Yes, we do. Me: Ok, i'd like to book one of those then. Them: No problem. Would you like to request a lake view consideration or pay the $20 per night extra fee now? Me: What? Them: If you pay $20 extra per night, we can reserve a lake view room for you. Otherwise, you will get one for the normal price if it's available when you show up. Me: But you said you have a lake view room available for those days. I'd like to book that now. Them: That be an extra $20 per night. Me: Forget about it, put me on the list for your 'consideration'. Them: Ok, That'll be $80 for Thursday, $160 for Friday and $210 for Saturday. Plus a $10 resort fee per day. Me: Sigh, what is the resort fee for? Them: It covers the free parking and free wi-fi. Me: Then that's not really "free" now is it? Them: .... Me: Whatever, just book the damn room ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) |

So, Friday is locked in...
We gather at 0800 and get a card (poker). Get in the cars by 0830 and drive counterclockwise around the Southeast corner of the lake to Incline Village and on to Mt. Rose Highway. Mt. Rose Hwy boasts the highest mountain pass in the Sierra Nevada Range at 8900 feet. We will only be at 8900' for a moment as we go over the pass and then we will descend quickly and in a very curvilicious manner to 4500 feet. We will turn on to South Virginia Street heading North and go to Need2Speed where we will park the cars and do a photo op in the parking lot. Inside, we will do a qualifier race and a main heat. There is a WCR award for the winner. You will also pick up another card for the poker game here. After our indoor gokart track fun, we get back in the cars and take a long 3 block trip to Joe's Diner for lunch. Joe's is a car club friendly 50's atmosphere rail car style diner. The food is Americana Diner style with burgers and fries and such. Time to pick up another card. Next, we'll wind our way through the Reno roads to Summit Racing Supply Retail store. Seems everyone has a catalog, but not many see the place up close and personal. Oh, and another card. After our visit to Summit, we will head up to Truckee and back in toward the Northeast side of the lake then clockwise, we will head back to Montbleu with views of the lake out your passenger side (unless you have one of the uber rare right hand drive models with you. Extra points for that). Once back at the Montbleu lot, your last card is dealt and we compare poker hands. Winning hand gets a special prize from our perennial sponsor 914Rubber.com. Important things to know: Fill your tank. This is about an 80 - 100 mile trip. It seems to me that 50% of 914 gas gauges don't work and 50% aren't accurate. We will leave you for dead if you run out of gas. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) Not really but Yopu said I should say that... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) The cost for the indoor go kart track is out of your pocket, bring it. The cost for your lunch at Joe's is out of your pocket so bring that too. Joe is calling in waitresses especially for our visit so be generous. Make it worth their while... The poker is 5 cards best hand wins. Number of decks will depend on participation. Get your registration in! Lake Tahoe is breathtaking year round but Spring is special because the ski bums are gone and the lake is ours! |
