Save the date – Saturday, September 15th.
Based on suggestions from JJ and Rudy, we’re starting to plan the next event closer to folks in the O.C. and further south and east. For those up north in the Valley and further, we’d like suggestions for another event later in the year, perhaps, Angeles Crest Hwy. or something similar. That way we can "share the wealth" I realize the southern drive could be a bit of a trip just to arrive at the meeting point.
There are still a lot of details to work out, but basically the plan is to meet in Lake Elsinore and take Hwy. 74/Ortega Highway down to San Juan Capistrano. The drive on Ortega Hwy. looks like it’s about 33 miles, with a lot of turns and curves. I’ve never driven it, but it looks like it winds through the mountains.
In San Juan Capistrano, we’ll find a place to “reconvene” per Rudy, and head over to Pines Park in nearby Dana Point for the BBQ. The park is right near the ocean and Rudy is checking out facilities.
Although we aren’t planning a stop for anything like the light house or museum last time, for those interested, there’s the old Spanish Mission San Juan Capistrano. If you’ve never been there, it’s very pretty and interesting. You might consider a stop after the BBQ or after the drive while we get the BBQ going at the park.
More details to come as we get the planning going.
