On November 4th there is a run planned through some of the old towns that sprang up during the gold rush days. Some of the buildings are still in use today.

The run will be leaving Placerville at 10:30 with planned stops at El Dorado, Sutter Creek and the Historical part of Jackson all of which are on Highway 49. An interesting note, one town the run will pass through will be Nashville, CA.

The Starting point will be Mels Diner parking area and if you choose to arrive early you have the choice of Carrows, Buttercup Pantry and Mels for breakfast, all of which are across the street from each other and then tour old town Placerville until it's time to start.

The tour will end in Valley Springs with a NO HOST late lunch/early dinner at Good Friend Chinese restaurant. The cost for dinner will be in the $15 per person neighborhood and if you don't like Chinese food there is a Round Table and Burger King across the street.

To get to the starting point take Highway 50 to Placerville to the Canal Street STOPLIGHT and turn South on Canal then left on Main to Mels.

This is a ZONC function open to all Z's

Wow, sounds really interesting! I think this may be a bit too far from me though (I'm in Oakland).

 

I maybe intrested. You in stockton too?

I am attending UoP. not too amny z's heres

 

There are a lot of Z's in stockton, and meetings every second Wed every month (except Dec) at Stockton Nissan. I have just moved to Valley Springs, guess I should change that.

 

This sounds like a perfect first run for my wife, my ZR, and me. Will it happen rain or shine?

 

Yes, rain or shine.

 

If there is anyway you can email me before this happens I will show up.

I live in Shingle Springs, a hole 5 minutes away.
I used to have a 350z, but now im all rotor. 93' Rx-7. I'm definitley down for some Pville runs. We should hip up Z Pies, if any of you know what that is.

 

My folks live near Placerville and I've ridden spotbikes over there a few times on 49 and I've been wanting to take my Z on hwy 49 really bad.


Either way I'm in, unless something comes up, which I doubt.

 

Was it something I said? HA

Are you guys still planning on this run?

 

It's a go, rain or shine, come hell or high water.

 

How many people are planning on going to this run?

Anybody?

I know the road and it's a sweet twisty drive but seems like they're not many going?

 

Thus far there are about 8 cars that have committed.

 

This past week has generated quite a bit of interest. Looking forward to a good turnout.

NOTE: When the group reaches Jackson, participants will have the option of visiting the shops, taking the walking tour (I will have maps and descriptions) or, if you have some loose change you want to dispose of, visiting the Jackson Rancheria Casino.
