Well it's on. The votes were for Monterey, so American Grafitti will be in the cooler season. Good idea!
Saturday, August 26th!!!:D
We have some ideas for everyone!

10-10:30am-Those from the valley can meet at Santa Nella at the 5 & 33. There are gas stations and (Split Pea Andersons) food there. We can meet at the world famous "Taco Bell." Let's meet at 10AM and leave at 10:30am to go over the hill on the 152 (San Luis Reservoir) to Monterey. It's about 1 1/2 hrs away.

12:30PM-We could all meet (the valley and coastal area 'runners') at the Point Pinos Lighthouse for a quick tour and some photos! Big parking area with Lighthouse in background. Tour is $2. http://www.pgmuseum.org/Lighthouse.htm
We'll bring some light sandwiches, chips and drinks for everyone for a light lunch.

2pm- We'll begin the 17mi Scenic Drive. Beautiful areas and lots of photo op's! A walk on the beach is possible, also. Ah, romance!

4pm- or there's about- A stop at a great view of the ocean and a sip of wine. I'm checking on this to see if it is free. There are several tasting rooms in the area, so we'll get one planned. http://www.tastemonterey.com/tastingroom.html

5pm- The finale! Bubba Gump's for an early dinner. :thumb:
http://www.bubbagump.com/ Look at locations and click Monterey!
Menus is available on their website, also. My wife and I usually share either the "Bucket of Boat Trash" or the "Shrimpin' Dippin' Broth." Then we have room for dessert!:nuts:

Then we'll all head to our own homes or... I'd say we'll be all finished by 7pm.
A special gift will be sent to all who attend. A free DVD of the Run!

Tell me what you think!
p.s. I'll PM all who say they're going and send you my Cell number in case you are running late to the meet up places. PLEASE state at which meeting place you plan to meet when leaving a message on this Thread. Either Santa Nella or Point Pinos Lighthouse. Thanks!

There are sign for Anderson's Split Pea Soup. That will put into in the right area. It isn't big like a town or anything. There are Gas stations and restuarants on each side of Freeway. The "Taco Bell" is on the WEST side of the Freeway. I think it's next to Denny's.

I'd check with an internet travel system, to look at prices and comments. We stayed at a B&B there but it was pricey! Beautiful but pricey.:D
We look forward to seeing you. Will you meet us in Santa Nella or Monterey?
Sindy is coming from the south also. You could maybe run up together.?!

Man I wish I could go. It sounds like a lot of great fun. If you want to stop in to a cool place, stop and go in to the kite, windsox place on Cannery row. Lots of cool fly'n stuff for little and big kids. I'm going to the Nascar race in Bristol, but I'll be thinking of you. Maybe we can get together in October?
So be cool and tell Clint hi for me.
