Almost here, now tell the rain to go away...

 

Hoping for a sunny dry weekend, need to scrub in some new treads before the run.

 

Damn rain just won't go away on the weekends. Just drove back home last night in 2 hours of pouring rain from S.F. It was not fun or a safe hydro. on 101. My car looks like it went through the mud.
Forecast this weekend, more f'n rain. Sorry, as much as I would like to go to this, I don't think I can handle back to back rain run.

Have fun and drive safely.

 

Yeah, I saw the weather forecast. Rain everyday starting Wednesday through Sunday. I'm not up for no rain run either. Man, this weather is the pits...

 

Rain or shine we are still on for this event.

 

The run is on. There is a 48 hour cancellation for those that decide not to go.

 

They've charged my C/C ~ 2.5 weeks ago.

No matter, we're in regardless of weather.
See you at ZCG Saturday

 

It just so happens I'm heading to Monterey this Saturday evening, and was planning on staying the night... but this event sounds interesting. I won't be able to make it to ZCG in the morning, but was wondering about what time will everyone get to this castle place? It seems about 4 hours away, and once everyone gets there what's the plan? Will there be any mountain runs near the castle? Or once everyone gets there will they just stay indoors?

(I have no interest in the actual castle... just the surrounding areas and roads)

 

We should get to the hotel about 4:30 PM after hitting the backroads down.

Dinner is scheduled at 6PM at El Chorlito Mexican Restaurant in San Simeon. We have reserved a private room at the back and your welcome to join us. After dinner there is a covered patio area with a fire pit at the Quality Inn across the highway from the Mexican Restaurant where we usually hang out.

The next morning some people are schedule for castle tours, others will head up to view the Elephant Seals and then drive up to Ragged Point to the viewpoints.

Dinner is scheduled at 6PM again but this time at the Manta Ray adjacent to the hotel. Their food is pretty exceptional for the area. We have their small room at the back reserved for those that don't want to drive into Cambria for dinner.

If you have not made a reservation at San Simeon you had better do right away. Most of the hotels are already booked. The last one that had any reasonable rooms - 800-621-3999 (Silver Surf Motel) approx. $116 per night.

See you there!! Yolanda

 

Are El Chorlito and Manta Ray where our dinner discount coupons honored?
Thanks.

 

Manta Ray is one that honors the coupon!!

 

My C/C still to date has not been charged. Guess I am one of the lucky ones....or maybe unlucky if they have no room for me. I do have a confirmation # for what its worth.

See ya in FF Sat morning.

 

A lot of hotels take your card information in advance, in case you don't show up, but give them no notice. They might charge you a bit if you do that. They usually charge your card once you leave, in-case you utilize the mini-fridge heheh.

 

I am just glad I have not been billed for it and have to pay for trip before I even get there. Mini Fridge? Now that is style-n.

btw: the best run is gonna be the drive down on Sat. You should try to hook up with us at ZCG or the next stop for lunch. Thereafter things will get exciting.

We will be heading right past you from FF in the morning,

 

Thanx for that 411.

Rain or no rain... we're excited about this and hanging with ZONC (NSX peeps too b/c they're enthusiasts as well).
It's all about (in my book) the same general passion and great people with awesome cars

See you then and hi to Jack

 

Yeah I'll try, but it depends if I can't get the GF to cut class on Saturday morning. It wouldn't be wise to abandon plans with the lady for a drive on the 14th heh...

 

^So true.......promise her a romantic weekend in a castle on the coast.

Sent you a pm with my cel, in the event you can make it. Caravan ETA for your area would be 9:00-9:15am.

Cheers
Curtis

It's gotten worse with forecast. Oh well... Bringing umbrellas and will still have a good time

 

I like your attitude! Just think how nice it will be sitting by the covered fire pit listening to the rain having a nice warm drink. Not too bad
