[urq] West Coast UPG GTG This Year?

[Bruce Bell]

Well, the bay area is going to be big $$$$ even for a "cheap" room if you
can find one in an area where the cars are relatively safe. I'm not sure
what or when off season is in Tahoe. According to my son who has a place in
Incline Village, it is always busy.

Another location which may be worth checking out is Dawn Ranch. I just spent
a weekend there the middle of May for my son's wedding. This place is in
Guerneville (Russian River Valley) has about 15 acres on the river and very
rustic cabins among the redwoods. There is a restaurant and bar on site. The
ocean and Santa Rosa are only about 20 minutes away. The owner, Michael
could probably hook you up with wine tasting as he owns a vineyard in Napa.
With a group, you may be able to negotiate a deal.

No I'm not willing to coordinate and I have no interest in this place other
than that of a past guest.

Hmm, Tahoe sounds cool...are accomodations even remotely affordable in the
area these days? I haven't been up there since the 80s. Scenery would be
awesome, though. One of the ski areas would be an awesome off-season
get-together point. Do you think there is any chance Squaw Valley or some
place like that would permit an autocross in a portion of their huge parking
lot? Nothing too dramatic, just a fun activity and great photo-op. I love
photos of urqs pitched in a hard turn! A poker run or other such
"competition" rally would also be a fun way to enjoy the cars and meeting
people in a loosely-structured activity. Driving around up there sure is
gorgeous, especially in summer and fall!

Alternately, one of the small towns along the the Northern California coast
or Southern Oregon coast might be really cool and picturesque as well. I
don't know much about these areas personally; never taken 101 all the way up
or down...

Let's talk about it!  In a way I'd almost prefer if it was somewhere else
... Tahoe perhaps?  ... but I'd certainly have no problem with something
local to the SF Bay Area.  

I'm getting the V8s back in line ... then I'm going to tackle the ury ...
summer should be doable for me!
