I have to drive from Thousand Oaks area.. sure it would be further south on 101 from my place... thats all I know...

Ravi,

It's about 2 hours from T.O. At that time of the morning your best bet is probably to just head straight east on 101 to the 134 east (North Hollywood) to the 210 east (Pasadena). Continue on 210 east until you intercept I-15 (Rancho Cucamonga). Go south on the 15 a few miles past Temecula and look for the the rt. 76 exit (which I believe is also called Pala Rd. around there). Have fun.

Hey Imz4n,
Looks like I can go, but will have to drive alone. Barb's got to work.
I will try to meet you when you stop at Dudley's. Since it is closer to home for me. Can you guess at what time you will get there? I will probably just get there early and have breakfast or something.

See you in the morning.

The day started out at the beach at 54 deg. Arriving at the meet point we joinrd with others, a total of 14 Z's at 58 degs. We headed off to Dudly's Backery ( with a side trip ) to meet up with yet 2more Z's a total of 16 plus an BMW850( he has a race Z, but elected to not get any proformance awards for his exhaust ( uncapped headers ). From Dudly's we elected to take yet another side trip into Julian, through Julian to Borrego Springs and Anza- Borrego State Park 85 degs. Spent the next hour taking pics of the wild flowers and catus bloom. Off to lunch at Palm Desert Resort.





After lunch a few people headed to the barn ( home ) The rest of us headed to Joshua Tree National Monument. The altitude varys and so did the temps 64- 90 degs. Spent the next 3 hours stopping for pics of wild flowers and catus blooms. Ended the day with dinner at an Italitan spot. Rhett. All and all a great day and awesome people.
