Get Ready Gang; this will be a great weekend. We have a wonderful weekend planned for you. Bring your cameras because we are going through some of the most picturesque environments California has to offer.

We will start from Paso Robles and head north on Lake Nacimiento Road, (G14) to Interlake Rd, to Jolon Rd, to Lockwood-Jolon Rd to FORT HUNTER LIGGETT.
The road here is just beautiful but you have not seen anything yet. We will enter the fort, provided everyone brought their identification cards and proof of insurance. I will check to make sure they are not in the middle of maneuvers or lock-down.

Once on the base, we will head over to San Antonio Mission just a couple of miles away. Great photo opportunities here. Randolph Hearst built the Hacienda Guest Quarters/Lodge and Restaurant. We were planning to have lunch there but I heard the restaurant recently closed.

From there we will travel over the Santa Lucia mountain range along Nacimiento/Ferguson Rd 17 miles to Hwy 1 and the Pacific Ocean.

We will head south along Hwy 1 and stop for lunch at Ragged Point just north of San Simeon. Then off to check out the elephant seals. After lunch we will cruise through Cambria cruising past some of the Galleries and shops.

From Cambria we will head east up Hwy 46, (actually I have a secret road that will get us to the 46). On this road, we will stop for a great photo opportunity with vast green valleys, the Pacific Ocean and Morro Rock as a backdrop. A little ways up the road is a great roadside bakery/coffee shop for a quick desert.

After our caffeine fix we will head back into Paso Robles for Dinner and our meeting. I think you will have some downtime after the drive to head back to your room and catch your breath before the night's festivities.


I still have many of the details to work out. I have posted some pictures to entice you.
Please respond to this thread so I can gauge the interest.
We look forward to seeing you.
