CR / BAR SLO Run  California Roadsters   7/23/04

            The joint weekend cruise hosted by the California Roadsters for our friends from the Bay Area Roadsters was a huge success, with a bonding of like minded roadster guys and gals.  

            The Peachtree Inn in San Luis Obispo was the perfect setting for us to throw a weekend party, with the first night being a welcome margarita/pizza party.  This was a great opportunity to talk to some of the guys that we only had prior nodding acquaintances with before.

            Well, there were no girlie men on our joint assault of the Hunter/Liggett military base on Saturday morning.  The 150 mile run from San Luis Obispo through the base and then onto Highway 1 saw a lot of twists and turns and dramatic vistas with sheer dropouts to the coast below.  The run was capped by a scenic coastal drive back to Cambria with an enjoyable lunch at a bluff top restaurant. Max Jamiesson did a great job putting this run together and both clubs appreciate his efforts.

            After a leisurely run back to the hotel, it was time for some tire kicking and telling a few tales.  Saturday night started with a cocktail party on the deck with more margaritas and then a BBQ dinner provided by Mo’s, a local favorite in SLO.  The evening was concluded by a song fest led by our own Frank Currie and a few jokes by wife Evelyn and a few others.

            In conclusion it was another successful SLO run, which is one of our favorite places to visit.  We owe a debt of gratitude to Jon & Midge for supplying the party essentials and making sure we enjoy ourselves. The hospitality of Sandy and Hitch at the Peachtree has grown to a tradition over the years, and we'll be back next year.  B.A.R. liked the place enough to book a block of rooms for next years SLO Roadster Show.  So I guess that means Jon will have to break out the ole margarita machine again next May.
