Well, I'm up at Mount Laguna now. (posting from my Treo) and the weather is cool tonight, but not cold. I've got a crackling fire in the fireplace, and the cabin is cosy warm.
The drive up was beautiful, and the sunset as I drove into Lake Henshaw was lovely. Just a few scattered clouds.
As I drove east away from the coast, I drove out from under the clouds into clear skys with a few whisps of clouds--just enough to catch the vibrant pink of the sunset.
Yes, there is a chance of rain tomorrow, and if it does rain, we'll be driving appropriately slower. (There is sufficient time in the schedule for that).
Weather does occasionally happen, even in So Cal. The folks up north at our parallel Hope Valley weekend meet will also have the potential for some light snow.
In our case, the probability is about 20% during the day, and about 40% by Saturday night, but Sunday is expected to have no rain.
It might be a bit windy down at Borrego springs, but at least it won't be the 105 degrees that was predicted 7 days ago...
It is interesting to note that our second weekend meet, Ventura February 2006 actually started raining on us, and rained the night before. As we were headed to Jalama Beach, up the Pacific Coast Highway, we pulled off just past the point where the road goes inland at the rest stop to put up the tops. Then, by the time we got to Jamala Beach, an hour later, it had cleared, and the weather couldn't have been nicer.
One other advantage is that there will be some scattered clouds which make for very nice photos.
We'll get through any rain that we do have just fine.
We'll see you when we see you, Bob. Remember, depending on time, you can also drive straight up to Mount Laguna, and catch us there at our stop, but here's hoping you'll be able to get some brunch.
They do have snacks at the general store in Mount Laguna, it's basically a small market, so you'll be able to get a bite.
See you all tomorrow!
