1 January 2008 Volume 2, Issue 1 Event Calendar Gold Country Run Corvette Club Santa Barbara S h a r o n S m i t h It s time for another CCSB Road Trip. This time we will be traveling to The Gold Country. The trip is for five days Friday, May 16 through Tuesday, May 20. It will potentially include: exploring a cavern, wine tasting, attempting to strike it rich, traveling through several national forests on magnificent Corvette loving roads, visiting historic sites, dining in a hotel with ghosts, antiquing, and enjoying the magnificent scenery. This is an excellent time to visit this area while the spring flowers are in full bloom, the hills are green, and the summer crowds have not yet arrived. On the return part of our trip we will travel over to the California Coast for a last night s stay in Big Sur. Our route will take us up 101 to Paso Robles, crossover to Hwy 99 via Hwys 46, 41 and 43. We will have lunch in Hanford at a business with lots of automobilia. From Hwy 99 we will take Hwy 108 to Hwy 49. From Hwy 49 we will take Hwy 4, with stops near Murphy's to explore a cavern and taste wine. We will be heading into the higher elevations around 7,000 feet as we continue on Hwy 4 driving through Stanislaus National Forest and Toiyabe National Forest. We will take Hwy 88 through Eldorado National Forest making our way back to Hwy 49. We may revisit the Corvette Club Santa Barbara gold strike of 1994 site at Coloma to see if there is any gold left. We hope to have a couple of our seasoned CCSB gold spotters on this trip to assist the first timers. Beware that if gold fever strikes, you may need to catch up with us where we camp for the night. Gold fever has been known to strike this group in the past. We will continue north on Hwy 49 through Auburn, Grass Valley, and Nevada City. Nevada City will be our northernmost stop. When we head south we may try our skills at an indoor go cart track, visit a museum, or whatever else I discover on my internet browsing between now and May. You never know what I will come up with in my quest to take you to places you have never been before. We will drive down Hwy 5, and then head for the Pacific via Hwy 156. If I have not crammed too much into our schedule I would like our last night out to be in Big Sur. All of the above is still in the early planning stages and venues are subject to change based on timing and availability, but Fred and I would love to have you join us on this getaway. If you did not sign up for this trip at the January meeting, please contact me ASAP by phone or to sharon@smithshome.com so I have a fairly accurate list of who is going when I start making our lodging and restaurant arrangements. If you have any questions about the trip, please contact me.
