So ... not the Redwood park, then?

How about the Denny's in Burbank?

My Jockey Box is too small for anything like a chainsaw... but the trunk is surprisingly large...

Count us Coloradans in Nish. We'll be bringing the entire clan this time, including a pop-up camper and possibly the dog if they are allowed in the park.

The only caveat is that it'll have to be late spring, which may be a good thing weather wise. School ends on Friday, May 29th and I'm assuming it'll be a two drive for us. So, how does the 1st weekend in June sound to everyone?

Hopefully, some of those good looking Canadians will be able to make it as well, along with their French wives. I've never met a good looking Canadian you know.

I don't even have a calendar showing June '09 but it sounds good to me.

I'll be glad to waive my professional fees for a price...:-)))) Maybe Nish will take some pics also...

Vail in December?

Just sitting here laughing thinking of me trying to drive an SL on I-70 from the Utah line to Vail in the middle of December... I wonder if I could put the top down to enjoy the nice "cool" fresh air...

I just can't stop laughing...

C'mon... as long as it's not snowing, you'll enjoy that pure Rocky Mountain Refreshment. Just make sure your heater is working well.

See you in Yosemite NJ!

You are kidding right.... I took delivery of my S550 in the sunshine in Denver and hit a small blizzard in Vail going over the hill. This was in the middle of April!

Yosemite in June sound more safe for an SL....

How 'bout Glacier in 2010? The "going to the sun road" would be a spectacular drive for our GL's. And, we could line them up at St. Mary's lake for a pretty picture or two.

That's the great thing about these get togethers... there is always a beautiful place to go.
