It's time to blow out some of those winter cobwebs and get the Vipers out on the road for a nice, spring run!  Lance has worked hard on convincing the DeANZA COUNTRY CLUB (a private golf club) to allow us to enjoy our lunch there, so we'll want to be on our good behavior when at the country club.  There is a DRESS CODE at the Country Club that we will be expected to observe:  No jeans, T-shirts, tank tops, or flip flops.  A collared polo shirt with shorts or casual slacks will be fine for the mepn.  Ladies, a nice blouse or top with some slacks, shorts, skirt or even a dress is acceptable, just no spaghetti straps.  If we enjoy this, we might want to come back next year, so while on the Country Club grounds we should drive sensibly with no extra loud rapping of the pipes.
                       That's not to say we can't have a little fun on the way!  <2

This is a private golf club and the members do wear shorts, so I'd venture to say that shorts are ok, provided that they are not cutoff jeans.

Now that the shorts issue has been taken care of, the next topic of concern is whether or not Lance will be attending since no flip flops are allowed >m 

Lance do you own any pair of closed toe shoes? I hear Doc has a vast collection of Cowboy boots that he's willing to let you peruse through if you want to go that route >v

Good question Art.

I have a nice pair of sandals that I was planning to wear with my shorts .....  =20 =20 =20

You guys are all too good lookin' in your shorts & sandals to be restricted; and we ladies would miss all that handsome eye candy that we enjoy when around all you fine Viper-gents.   <t I keep forgetting, I'm no longer from the north.  This is SO Cal!  Lance has this run under control... he'll let us know what is OK!  Pam

Sounds good. Count us in.

This run is fast approaching!  It would be good for us to have a count so Lance can let the Country Club know about how many to set up for lunch.  And it should be a real nice & fun run on up the Borrego Springs.  Anyone planing to go? <2

Teresa and I will be in town that day. Count us in... >r

Lynda and Steve are in.  OC caravan???

Please add Ruth and Nino to the list.  Do birthday suits count as formal dress? <11

See the addition to the post for the SAN DIEGO GROUP meeting point for the ride to Temecula... we'll be waiting at the Park N Ride and will pull out at 8:25M for the short run to the Chevron (31669 Temecula Parkway on Rt. side not far off I-15) where we'll meet the rest of the group which is leaving at 9AM to head to Borrego Springs.  Come, San Diego area group!  SIGN UP!  It's going to be fun. 

I'm in! <2

One of the joys of Borrego Springs (in addition to the nice curvy road getting there) is the abundance of wildflowers when the weather is just right. Since this is difficult to predict in advance the Chamber of Commerce provides a wildflower hot line to call before you go to determine the best viewing spots.

The most recent freeze has reduced the show from just a week ago, but more flowers will be produced from last weeks rain too.

Feel free to call 760-767-4684 before going to get the latest wild flower recorded updates. >r

We have that date open, so count us in - Dan & Mayo! We'll meet everyone in Temecula.

Thanks, Lance, for the reminder!

Im looking foward to this event too. Hope all is doing well and will see you in Temecula! Luke

Count Jim and Judy in. 

John & Bridgit are in.

 Count Dave & Lisa in please...we'll tag along in my beemer!

Had to be the most beautiful run of the year.

The air was crystal clear, the mountains were verdant green from the recent rains, and the hills were dotted with wild flowers.

Going down the grade with the desert laid out full in front of us was spectacular.

Lunch at the private country club was a yummy barbeque, and parking on the grass made it feel like a mini Pebble Beach.

Good to have some fun with our Corvette Brethern. Like the bunch from Vegas that made the trip over to hook up with us.

Some split off on the way home, and climbed out of the desert via Banner Grade. The quick bathroom break in Julian turned into a group apple pie fest. That cinnamon vanilla ice cream was a sinfull bonus. >p

Thanks again Lance for a nice get away ride. Liked the extra touches.

Thank You Paul for taking the lead car duties today.    <2
Having so many people step up and help is what makes our events so successful !   >v

We had a fun drive home.....but once we hit the 15 North, my mouth was drooling for one of those famous caramel apple pies.

The cruise to Borrego was picture perfect. 
Oddly enough, with my newfound duties, it is becoming more and more difficult to take pictures.    >u

I did manage to shoot a few and they are now posted on my site   www.kouchicentral.com (http://www.kouchicentral.com)

We had some specials guests join our run today.   John brought a bunch of his Calico Cruisers out from Las Vegas and Don from Corvettes of San Diego came with his members.
In all, we had 33 cars and it was really cool driving and visiting with everyone.
