I'm in...reservations have been made!  You have to stress that you're with the "So Cal Viper Club" otherwise they will try to give you a less favorable rate.

Extra special thanks to Lance, Dan and Cathy for making this possible  <1.  This is going to be a blast.

[ViperX]

Good comment Art.

Yes, Cathy "ground on them" a bit for a better rate for you all.

Glad you can make this, should be fun.

Lori and I are obviously in, reservations made, and paid for.   This should be a really nice weekend.

[racecars]

Oh Great One  ^9 ^9 ^9 & Boss Lady <1

has signed up also <1

[hemotox]

I am in for this one, have been to the 101 viewing stop for Hearst Castle but never to the actualy site.  So I guess there are no Sheri's or Cottontail Ranches for the NV guys to have a Sunday BBQ at the start of this cruise, eh?   <1

[hemotox]

Cathy,

Reservation made, I am in.  Anyway we can get Big Brakes Dave to cover the cocktail bill on Saturday evening??? >2

"Anyway we can get Big Brakes Dave to cover the cocktail bill on Saturday evening??? "

Hey Eric, remember Dave is from New Jersey - maybe if we beg!

The hotel is filling up fast and room rates are about to go up.  Hope eveyone that wants to go gets their reservations soon.

I am definately in for this one seeing how I live 30 minutes from Pismo. I would like to know if there is going to be any stops along the route up so I can join you. I might even head south to meet up. Just a side note Solvang is just off the 101 and might be a nice stop to take a break at.

Oh tell Big Brake Dave that I am bringing "The Cupholder" that night. I will make sure she wears something appropriate.  ^8

Yo Thom,

Solvang is the plan for the lunch stop on the way up.  The time-line has not been put in place, but will be posted as soon as it is.

We're expecting a LOT of cars - should be a blast... <9

[NK BREKR]

Is it too early to start planning meeting points for the caravan? 

I would like to suggest Village Coffee Roaster off the 101 (Valley Circle Blvd) for the LA, San Fernando and possibly Simi Valley folks?  ^5

Solvang will be fun, but we have to be careful not to scare the 1-horsepower carts there with the 500+ horses in our cars. >3

[Kala]

Wow... if I counted correctly... 73 members signed up at this point...
If this keep growing, we'll need a panoramic group shot  <9

I'm in for meeting up at La Conchita... or the 150 and 101, whatever works...

[admin]

Hey Art, Kala, and all,

It's never too early to plan - it's whether or not you've got the time...

Make plans to meet anyone driving your way, but eventually, we'll all meet in the Thousand Oaks area for our cruise north.  We will be stopping in Solvang for lunch.

I haven't worked out the timing yet, but the plan would be to arrive at the hotel in Shell Beach by 3:30-4PM.  FYI: The NV members are driving up on Friday - from Vegas all the way to Shell Beach - so we won't be hooking up with them on Saturday.

I encourage you guys to setup meet points - it always makes for a more exciting ride - and as soon as I have the location in Thousand Oaks, I'll let you know what time.   <2

By the way - YES, we are expecting at least 100+ attendees  >2

[hemotox]

Don't see a yellow paper clip, anywhere!   

Oh, now I see it it is green and under the image of the hotel, duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!    <2

[PCH VIPER]

58 cars and 114 people confirmed!!!!!!   >2

This is going to be fun!

If you haven't signed up....you better do so quick.
