NorCal event

On Oct 16, Speed's Diner in Plymouth, California is hosting the first inaugural 50's DooWop night. The owner of Speed's is an ex-machinist and a true lover of hot rods. He will be serving up the typical 50's cruising dinner of a hamburger, fries, and coke for the 50's price of $1.00. For those of you that have to travel a long distance to be able to say sometime in the future,"I was at the inaugural of this event back in 2010", there is a 329 site RV park 1/4 mile north of Speed's, and the Shenandoah Inn 1/5 mile south on Historic Hwy 49. For reduced hotel rates of $84.95 for a king, mention you are with the "Speed's" group. Their number is 800 542-4549. The large RV park is a Far Horizon's 49er Village, phone 209 245-6981. The surrounding Sierra Foothills is wine country with several vineyards and tours. This part of Hwy 49 is also gold country, and Plymouth is 21 miles south of Hangtown (currently called Placerville) and 12 miles north of Jackson which has IMHO the best Indian casino in California. For the more adventurists, Lake Tahoe is 81 miles away and Yosemite is 128 miles.

Hope to see you all there,

Is anyone other than me on the forum plan on making this event?

I'm a pedestrian until my new ECM shows up.
Take new batteries for your camera. I'll need pictures and full details.

Russ,

Still hoping to meet you halfway to see in person you and your new build. If you saw the pictures I posted from the 101 Fun Run, you need not worry about me getting pictures. Digital cameras of today are so hassle free to use compared to the 2 1/4 X 2 1/4, 4 X 5, and little 35mm I used to lug around.
