Just called Renee so you just need to call & they will swap it to you. Looking forward to meeting you at WCR.

This is the route I was thinking of.

Except I have to go on the other side of the San Gabriels 210 to 101 through Oxnard.

FWIW, we plan on eating lunch in Thousand Oaks around noon if anyone else wants to join up there. From there it will be the 101 to the 1 to San Simeon. ETA 1700hrs.

The more the merrier.

Don't know what route JP took for Route 66, hopefully he'll chime in. I can't speak for the others if they want to deal with the mid day Valley traffic. Stop and go traffic will not make my knee happy.

This is 1:30pm today. Destination is some random shopping center in Ventura on the forward side of the freeways.


Picking up Rick.


Possible compromise rendezvous at the 15 and 210.

It seems like it is ALWAYS bad going through the San Fernando Valley until you get to about Camarillo.

Almost makes you wanna take the PCH.

It's too windy to work on the car..... so I've been playing with ideas.

It looks like Rick should make Ventura County around 3pm. To meet him there we should leave Vegas around 9:14 am

We'll just need someone local to pick a good lunch stop in the Ventura vicinity and lead us out-of-towners through the twisties Or we'll just copy the caravan leaving before us

If Googles accurate, we'll be in San Simeon 7ish.

I'm not going to make it, if anyone needs my hotel reservation let me know.
Jeff


Room Gone!

I will be arriving in San Simeon on Wednesday afternoon. Just in case anyone else is stupid early.

Your 'Picking up Rick' map looks about right.
I-15 to Cima Road. Kelso train Station. Amboy on Rt 66. Hwy 62 to I-10.
Going home I took I-10 to Hwy 95 North. (more traffic and less passing zones)

When you leaving JP? You always pick the best route!

I plan to leave Vegas Wednesday afternoon. I will take I-15 to Hwy 2, the Angels Crest Highway and drop in the L.A. area on the 101.
Then I can join the *official* caravan from the start on Thursday morning.


(I haven't been to the James Dean memorial since 2006 so that will be part of the route home.)

John, wife an I are planning on spending tue, night in vegas, then on our way wed. Maybe we can hook up and have a cocktail.

Looking forward to seeing you Jim. Did Eric get your car done?

No not yet, they have plenty of time. Looking forward to this....be happy to see you again...

I'll be looking for ya, Jim. Be sure to give those lungs a good rest.

Oh no. I can see this going down a treacherous path.






Sent you a PM Jim.

Ok off the fence looks like Ill be able to attend at least for an over night. Gonna be blasting down the 5 tip a few with you fine crew, then PU a roller and back to to the PNW.

Money Sent

Cool.

Check your PM inbox, Rich

Make that Wednesday evening. Can't leave until 2pm... Should be in San Simeon around 6pm...

We're ting for 0400-0600. The wife and I are hitting some vintage and antique shops in Cambria on Thursday if anyone else wants to join in. This venture is usually good for 50 brownie points and enables me to attend these events.

Count me in.




I've got a hotel near the Pier in Santa Monica Wed night. (anybody recommend a favorite joint for crab legs?)
Breakfast on the beach and a nice canyon run should put me in 1000 Oaks for lunch. Pick a place.

Just checked - I booked a room for Wednesday night (4/29) through Saturday night (5/2).

Anybody else from So Cal also going up on Wednesday?

yep. Me and the wife are leaving Wed as well. Right around 1000hr's. Should have noted that in my last post. So, yes we plan on Thousand Oaks area lunch Wed. Sorry if that messed you up John.

I have all day to cover 250 miles up the California coast in my Porsche. I promise I will get along just fine.

I'm sure you'll pass me up at some point then, John …

I'll be coming in Wednesday night bringing the truck and trailer in case anyone has a mishap

Hi, Everyone. I know a few have been waiting for this. Sorry so late, but if anyone would like to join a caravan from the Santa Clarita area on Thurs. morning here is route I have planned. I have done this before and it's a lot of fun, with some great views and very little freeway driving. We can also stop by the James Dean Memorial and raise a glass (or a can ) I was thinking 10 or 11ish, to give people time from south and east, and near the Magic Mountian Parkway exit.
Let me know if you are interested in joining so we don't leave anyone behind.

Friday 4/30 we will have 2 separate tours. I have posted a poll to get a general head count for each. Please go check out the Poll and vote!
Thanks

It's a 6 hour drive from Phoenix. I don't think I'll get started early enough to make 10-11-ish. Have fun.

Let me know the time and place details when you nail it down, and I will be there.

Is it too late to register? Looks like i'll be able to make it after all ...

just registered myself.

Don't show up without Amoy.

Don't worry, you'll have a hard time getting her off your lap ...

"When you lay down to nap, and she sits on your lap, that's Amoy"

I'm in! Better late than never!

9 days till we hit the road. Costco called and said my tires are in. One of my last unfinished "to do's" before we hit the road. I totally stoked for this one. Can't wait.

We have had a great response from Vendors/Sponsors for the WCR. You guys are in for some real treats at the raffle. In addition to these listed below we also have donations from Cap'n Krusty, Perry Khiel & McMark!
