Great. Thx for the support folks. Lets get some ideas posted and bounce them off the wall. Maybe we can give Blue6 $100 to watch the cars at night with the promise that he can shoot anyone messing with a teener. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) He's been retired for awhile now and I'm sure he has an itchy trigger finger. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Cesar, thx for the info on Festival of Speed but it doesn't really matter. As long as I've been here there is always another event happening during one of ours. Some will go and others will attend Rt 66. It might be a blessing in disguise as I suspect a bigger than usual attendance since we will be in SoCal.

OMG! This means I won't have to cross the Mohave again? Since you will leave at least a week early you should cross the desert anyway. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif) |

There's a few cholos on my wife's side of the family that would be happy to grab their 'gats' and watch our cars for some beer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/hide.gif) Maybe I will just drive to Barstow and back. That way, I can still stop here.

If you decide to make that leg of the run, it's possible some of us easterners would meet you there - kinda take a little more of Rt.66 than is in the original schedule... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Thanks so much for putting this together, and most of all thanks for allowing input.
I would be happy to look into Hotels closer to the north side of the LA area. I feel I can get good rates that will kill allot of that freeway time. I will also be happy to work with you on routes to get us around traffic. This is what I do everyday as an estimator I drive allot. The Peterson is a great museum for visitors with its 90 million Dollar resent renovation, its something to think about doing, two hours is all you need. Ontario to los Angeles is a bad drive. If you like we can consider closer to Glendale, Pasadena, or the surrounding areas, as long as I you/we get a rate you like for this event. We can do the Pier, The Peterson, Newcombs Ranch a popular Car & biker hot spot on the crest. I am hear if you need assitants.. |

Leamon...
I was thinking the same....maybe Pasadena area with a loop drive to Newcombs....back side R66 back to Pasadena or the other way. I thought maybe I.d PM Kent with an possible itin after Temecula. |

We're heading in a different direction; just as cool. I've been working on it for a few weeks after talking with John. Didn't want to post anything until I have all the wrinkles worked out. I should be able to update everyone by Monday. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I thought maybe I.d PM Kent with an possible itin after Temecula. Anything west of the 605 will be on the pricey side. Traffic on the 210 even on the weekends is killer. A drive through Angeles Crest then the 14 to Devil's Punchbowl might be a nice run. We can find somewhere to eat in Pearblossom. Maybe Glendale or Eagle Rock would be a better place for hotel/motel rooms? Just my 2 cents! Phatnine11 |

What about Mulholland Drive?
I know its a ways but it has always been a teener favorite. And if you are a smooth talker like SLITS was you could talk your way out of a ticken if you get pulled over. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) |

Haha. Ron went from first in line to last and falling behind on that run. 06' in Camarillo? The LEO was getting out of his cruiser when I drove past.
