We're a few hours less than a week away.
Here's a summary of the what/where:
•*August 8*, 2015, we'll meet at the *Embassy Suites 101 McInnis Pkwy, SanRafael, CA 94903* as close to *8:30AM* PDT as you can manage.
•While everyone arrives, we'll visit, enjoy sharing our cars, stories, use therestrooms in the hotel if needed, etc... until...
•*Roughly 9:45AM, we will depart via this route to the Marin French CheeseFactory*: https://goo.gl/maps/6UYnP
•I've checked all the West Marin online calendars I can find for conflictingevents and it looks clear but the rule of thumb is that the earlier we get out,the less competition we'll have for the open road. The Final leg of the journeyis a secluded old country road with beautiful views and while the road isn'tbad, it does have a few potholes. Keep sharp.
•The Marin French Cheese Factory has quite a bit of parking space, lots ofpicnic tables and lawn (see the photos above). They sell wine, cheese, softdrinks and have a limited but delicious deli. There are no cook fires soanything you bring for a picnic must already be cooked. *Bringing a picnic ofyour own is highly recommended but not required.*
•*When you are ready to leave*, you can follow this route to get back to US HWY101 (or if you just want to join us for lunch around noon you can reverse thisfrom 101): https://goo.gl/maps/FyWFR
•*My Google Voice number is: 415-488-6568*. *My name is Rhett, my wife* andpartner in crime's name *is Heather. *
•I will likely be driving a white Jaguar XJ-S coupe, Heather will be in a white1995 Jaguar XJ6 VDP.
•Marin is a beautifully mountainous area with many micro-climates. *Bringlayers of clothing* because you never know if it will be hot or cool, even insummer.
•I'll be bringing a Go-Pro. If you want to bring yours, I'll endeavor to cut itinto a video to commemorate the run. Here's SARCs very polished video from thelast run in March: https://vimeo.com/120995272
•The run from the Embassy Suites to the Cheese factory is anywhere from 60 to80 minutes long through areas of breathtaking beauty and inconsistent mobileservice, so...
•We will try to print enough maps for everyone.
*Here's my current list of definite-to-likely attendees:*
Me: White XJ-S (or black XJ6 SIII, depending on the XJ-S, honestly)
Heather: White '95 X300 VDP
SARC and Mrs. SARC: XJS
SMGData: XJ40 or XJ-S
PrimaZ: S-Type
David Cooper & dad: Dad's E-Type SIII DHC (and possible guest Porsche orAlfa for wife and son)
Justin: XJ6 series III
Mike Cooper (no relation to David): Something probably modern.
Rocam XJR - ???
*Anyone else? An RSVP will guarantee you a print out of the route.*
Any questions, you can private message me or, if it's the day of, text me.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!
Best,
Rhett and Heather
