Ok, just last weekend, took a trip out to Julian. Every mile along the way, couldn't help but think what an awesome road it is (actually roads!) and how cool it would be to see a big line of MINI's tearin' it up!

I'm thinking about Sunday, February 2nd. Since there are multiple routes to the quaint little village, there could be multiple meeting points with the whole group assembling at a central location...dudley's bakery in Santa Ysabela (sp?).

More details to follow soon...


((DATE CHANGED TO SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1ST!))

Please post back, email me at don.burnside@attbi.com or PM if you would be interested!

Thanx

Yes! Sign me up for the Julian MINI Motoring Tour! Let's get a HUGE parade of MINIs to wind through the twisties!

Thanks for planning this, dbwilldo! How can I help?

Cheers!
Clover

 

Dang, I'm gonna be in Visalia for my great-niece's 1st bday (it sounds lame but I swear, it's true!) Julian would be SUCH a cool ride... ah well, maybe next time!

Cheers,

Leslie

 

Isn't Julian famous for apples?

Didn't they have a fire in that region within the past 6 mo.?

If there was a fire there recently, I didn't see any damage when I was there last weekend.

Yes, VERY famous for apples...some of the best apple pie that you can possibly imagine. There is even a big apple festival there every October/November if I remember correctly.

 

Sounds great. I will mark the calendar and try and plan it. I could catch up with you in Temecula.

 

Looks like I'm in for the ride for the 2nd. AZ trip got cancelled so now I can spend Saturday getting the ride all prettied up!

Time?
Meeting place?

Temecula's good for me also.

 

I want to do all the MINI trips, but that work thing comes in the way. You'll have to post the pics so I know what I missed.

 

I'll try to make it, need to check out the maps and stuff...Sounds like great fun!!

Hi, Trese!

Look forward to seeing you and your pretty EB S in Julian! It's going to be a blast! More info to be announced soon....... :smile:

 

For those of you that are still interested, there has been a slight change in plans. Instead of Sunday, Feb. 02, the date has been changed to Sat. Feb 01.

More details coming VERY VERY SOON!

 

Let's change it back to Sunday.

I really want to go, but can only go on Sunday

 

Hey guy's Im JULIAN...

Too bad I live in Jersey, if not I could be the sponsor of the Motoring day...

 

this is why I wish we didn't live so far south in Florida. Only can do the local meets in-state. If we lived north we could state jump and find events more often. Oh well guess I'll just go swimming after work and get a tan. By the way how is the weather up there in apple land???

 

everyone realizes that this is for a drive to Julian California, right?

Just want to be sure..

 

PLEASE SEND ME ALL INFO....

I'd Like to try to attend!


-Doug

 

More info is coming later tonight. As soon as I can confirm a few things I'll get the information posted!

 

Got the Information! Thanks.
It looks like Michele, myself and the MINI will be there (with new 18" wheels too! Uh... that the MINI, mind you... not Michele or I).

Cheers!

 

Why was the date changed?? I was already making plans to attend on the 2nd, and can't make it on the 1st.

oh well...

I've driven all those roads many times, so I know you all will have a great time.

 

Ok gang, here's are some details to get you started! Extra thanx to Johnny Ceveche for nailing down the route!

The day: Saturday, February 01, 2003
The Time: Estimated time of departure 9:00 AM
The Start: Pala Casino
The Destination: Julian, CA
The Details: You are going to need to know how to get there! John is going to be at Pala Casino early to meet any that want to arrive early. To get to Pala:

From San Diego
>>Take I15 North to SR 76 East
>>Go 5 Miles to Pala Casino
Driving Directions
If you are coming from OC or LA, take I5 south to HWY 78 east then follow the directions above.

For those of you coming from LA, OC, or the IE, I am going to lead a group from the Lake Elsinore Outlet Center. To get there:

>>Take 91 East to I15 South
>>Take I15 South to Nichols Road
>>Turn Right on Nichols Road
>>Turn Left on Collier Road (there is an AM/PM on the corner)
>>Turn left into the first parking lot (the one with all of the MINI's!)
Driving Directions

I would like to depart the outlet center no later than 7:45 AM to arrive at Pala by 8:30-9:00!

The plan at this time is to motor from the Casino, up into Julian, spend a bit of time poking through the shops and whatnot, stopping along the way to take pictures, and then doubling back down to Harrah's casino for lunch! The road is awesome! It's in excellent shape and chock full 'o twisties!. Let's keep good weather thoughts!

 

Oooh, db!

This will be a GREAT run! I'm heading down to La Jolla to my parents' and will join up with Johnny Ceviche and the San Diego kids! Sure to be fun!

Cheers!
Clover

 

Julian was featured in "Food Finds" tonight.

Apple pies.............mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

Sounds like fun to us. We missed the La Jolla to SD run last
time and have been eagerly waiting for an opportunity to see
another fun-run come up. Looking forward to meeting all of
you.

I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go!

Fresh apple pie is a good bribe for a 6yr old!
