Oh Man...I wish that I would have known about this drive much earlier. Unfortunately, my wife and I had just set plans for the weekend. I for sure would have particpated....maybe next time

[CaZ4]

I would have went too!
Oh well...I'll be out at Dumont riding with the family in shorts and a t shirt all weekend! It's going to be in the 80's all weekend!

Started the day at 65 deg. with a short meet and greet. Everyone was there on time.



Headed towards Julian.



Six cars and four of us had tops down and enjoying the great day. I had a can opener for the other two, however they opted to just drop the windows.



Arrived in Julian about 1.5 hours later.





We had breakfast at Julian Cafe. Talk about a huge plate of food.






Out past Lake Henshaw.



Headed back to San Diego.





Temps were 65 when started and 78 at the end of the day at about 1:00.

Great day and wonderful people.:cool!:

Did I mention the apple pie. MMMMMMM

From the pics, it looks likes it was a perfect day for a drive. I hope to make it to the next run...

I hope to have more notice next time

I network with a bunch of different groups. Most meets have a good bit of notice and works out a bit better. However the spur of the moment ones are smaller and more flexable. When I see events, I post them up as soon as I can and sometimes I need to get more information.

58 degrees at 6:00 AM when we left the house, 65 when we met in San diego, high 70's the rest of the day. Top down and converting some vitamin C to D.

That reminds me to get the sunscreen back in the car.

[CaZ4]

looks like fun! Hope to see you guys again soon!

[CaZ4]

Great pictures by the way!

Never meatloaf,maybe filet.

I sent my usual one time notice to all. I got only one responce from CAZ4. I found out about the drive on Friday and the drive was on Saturday, not much notice. Weather has been so crazy lately, I have not planned much. Snow, rain, two of my roads are closed due to missing roads. One of them in Big Bear. One in LA.

There has been talk of going to Vegas. I was going to try in Feburary, however not knowing the roads like I do in SoCal it has not panned out. There is a group of ///m's going in March ( 7-8-9 ). We have been invited to go to that one. http://www.zpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=107402

We will have a big brunch (TBA) and as some have signed up for the Track Day event at Spring mountain which will be hosted by Speedventures.com will be going this day....


A few rules for the Mfest to be followed at all times...

1. Relax...Don't be too up tight... remember your coming to the Mfest to have fun, meet your fellow enthusiast/ new friends and have a good time...

2. If your thinking of testing the limits of your car/s on public roads... this is NOT the right event for you. but we will have a track day Sunday for those interested in improving their skills. which will be sponsored by speedventures.com

3. Be respectful with others and do not follow too close....No stupid/ uneccesary moves that will keep YOU and OTHERS in harms way...


The Mfest is open to every enthusiast out there as long as they read and agrees with the rules...

We will most likely leave on Saturday at about 2 AM stay Saturday night and back on Sunday. We will be staying with friends in Henderson. Friday is out for us. By the time we could leave and traffic, it's just not worth it to me.
