Hi SoCal ROC'ers,

I have been so busy since getting back from the Sedona Meet, I almost forgot to post this thread about the Day Run to Santa Maria, CA on Saturday, July 19, 2008 for wine tasting and Santa Maria Style Barbecue!

If you have never had Santa Maria Style Barbecue, you are doing your taste buds an injustices! ;) There is no sauce involved and it is mouthwatering, somebody pass me a bucket! :D I am going to research a vineyard we can go to for wine tasting if you wish to do so however, I will need a definite head count to make reservations for say an early dinner?

Santa Maria is 3 hours up the coast from Long Beach. All those who wish to attend, we can all rendezvous at Point Magu in Ventura with a second rendezvous location in Santa Barbara at In and Out Burger. From there we will caravan the rest of the way to Santa Maria from there (radioes on 6.0). So if you are interested in joining me (because I am going either way) answer the poll please so I can get a head count. Wine tasting info will be posted by the weekend.

Let's roll SoCal!

Is there a second rendezvous for the people who lives further north like myself (kanji), kelly (Ridgegal), Dreshden etc. like ventura area where the 126 meets the 101 or something in that area? Rather for some like myself, back tracking?

Btw...when will this day trip happen? or is it still in the planning stages?

We're there with you Tony. BBQ is a great reason for a roadtrip, and hanging out with my ROC buddies!

Is there a second rendevous for the people that lived north of every one somewhere in the ventura area..If i where to meet up with you all, i can drive over to 126 freeway that hooks up to the 101 in ventura. What do you think tony?

In n Out Burger in SB? Is that the best you can do?

Anyway here is a link for wineries and vineyards in SB county, SANTA BARBARA VINTNER'S (http://www.mnsgis.com/GIS/CA/SBVintners.html)

Sorry, I know the coastline, not the interior of S.B. County :o

Do what you think is best for those who live that far North Tony, I would! I am looking at suggestions from Grok Lobster on wineries in S.B. County prior to reaching Santa Maria.

just wondering if we can meet the rest of the caravan, on your way up, if everyone likes we (other's) can meet at Ventura or Santa Barbara and Drive up in one large caravan together.

Create waypoints for people to meet in sections of the drive the scenic routes.

That was always the plan Tony. It does not make sense for us to go out of our way to rendezvous when we can all meet at a way point then travel together don't you think?

For example I would expect to meet up with Ridgegal some where around Camarillo where the 101 comes out of L.A. County into Ventura County if she took the 101.

There may be at least 2 to 3 way points before we all rendezvous and head for a winery then on to Santa Maria. Lord knows on the way back home we will take the routes that get us home the quickest, which I suspect would be in Ventura where you are thinking of meeting the main group then Camarillo.

thanx tony, i'm in for this one, just need to make plans for the 2nd meet caravan for the northern people. Do you have an address for your second waypoints in Santa Barbara ( In and Out & what exit) we can all meet there and travel up north?

The last time I was up that way, the In and Out was right off the freeway in plain sight. But you can research any location where your freeway connects with US 101 and rendezvous with us there. You make the call!

If nothing really urgent comes up on that date, Podo reporting for duty sir LOL! :D

We're (Christine and me, RT) in--unless something completely unforeseen happens. :D

On the advice of a dear friend, instead of doing a winery especially because some like wine , others don't or can't enjoy wine, we will go to Solvang for a bit. They have a lot going on there and it's fun for all. We then head over to Santa Maria (Guadalupe) for an early dinner then trek home. ;) For all those going, make sure you vote on the poll and post a head count on who is coming so I can make reservations for dinner by July 17, 2008!

Sounds good Tony, Never been to either place.

Since you are going to Solvang, you definitely want to take highway 154 which means you won't get to the In and Out exit. The exit for 154 is about 1/4 mile from 154 with a small strip mall (on Calle Real) along the way. You could make that your rendezvous point.

There is wine tasting available in Solvang.

Good Call Grok. Kanji we will meet you and who ever comes with you there!

Tony, Goggle Earth these directions for yourself and whom ever comes out of the high desert with you for the way point at Highway 126 (Santa Paula Freeway) and the 101 (Ventura/PCH)....

Once the 126 merges with the 101, take the East Main St. exit going North, to South Mill Rd. We will meet at the AM/PM Gas station or what ever is there. Once those who are going with us have arrived and stretched their legs, we will depart that location headed north on the 101 to the 154 north. We will turn west bound on the 246 (Mission Drive) into Solvang.

From Solvang, we will continue west bound on the 246 to the north bound 101 into Santa Maria. We will then turn West bound on the 166 which goes through town into Guadalupe until we come to Cabrillo Hwy (Coastal Route 1). We will proceed north bound on Route 1 to the location for dinner.

Sounds like a plan....See you there?

Btw...what time are you all meeting at the first Waypoint? I'm just wondering.

Do you have the exact address? lobster?

4010 Calle Real is the address of a bait and tackle shop. I think there is a small market also.

Sounds like a plan....See you there?

Btw...what time are you all meeting at the first Waypoint? I'm just wondering.

That is hard to determine since we are coming from different directions. However, if we all hit the road at 0700 sharp, we should all be within a few minutes to 20 or 30 minutes arriving at the way point. Plus we will have our radios and cell phones.

Would you consider this 2nd waypoint, The corner of East Main Street and South Mills Road is Lowe's, it has plenty of parking and right off the freeway. Here's the lowe's address for the people with Navi.

500 SOUTH MILLS ROAD
VENTURA, CA 93003

Its practically right across from the gas station.

Tony, I'm going out on a limb and say I'm going at this point.

Just got back yesterday from a long drive around Oregon and have reservations at Doheny State Beach for July 9th thru the 13th.
Kinda tired of packing and unpacking but never too tired to drive. :)

It looks like I'll have a few days rest for the all day drive to Santa Maria on July 19th.

I think I read in another post that you need a head count for dinner by the 17th.
I will know more by then and confirm.

There will be two:

Joe & Joyce

I'm in Tony, just 1 for me,

That's true Joe. I'm trying to get those who want to go thinking about it and commit so I can just call them and let them know soCal ROC is coming. Beside my friend Stacie, another friend of mine who resides in Santa Maria will be joining us for dinner. Her name is Heidi.

Tony, we won't make it after all. My granddaughter's birthday party is scheduled that same day. Have a great time and eat some BBQ for me.

Unfortunately: now I cannot make it. :(

NEXT time! :D

I can't make it, I was going to try to see if I can go last min, but MotoGP is at Laguna Seca that weekend. :(

We won’t be able to attend the Santa Maria Day Run this time. Nicole has a break from her job at summer camp. We hope everyone has a great time and post up those great photos of the meet!!

Tony, I thought you were going to meet us up around Ventura at a parking lot at Lowes? What happen?

Ok, at this moment, these are the ones going to do the Santa Maria Run on Saturday.

We will depart that location headed north on the 101 to the 154 north. We will turn west bound on the 246 (Mission Drive) into Solvang.

From Solvang, we will continue west bound on the 246 to the north bound 101 into Santa Maria. We will then turn west bound on the 166 which goes through town into Guadalupe until we come to Cabrillo Hwy (Coastal Route 1). We will proceed north bound on Route 1 to the location for dinner.

Sounds like a good plan Tony. :)

I only have a couple questions.

1) What time do you plan on arriving at Denny's in Ventura for breakfast?

I may have to be on the road way before 0800 to get there at a decent time for breakfeast.
My Navi and MapQuest says that Denny's is 118 miles and 2:02 hrs from my house.


2) How fancy is the Far Western Tavern for dinner?

Can I wear my Ridgeline T-Shirt I got from Dan & Pam in Sedona and go casual?
Sounds like you have been there before.

Looks like it might reguire a little more than casual wear. Far Western Tavern (http://www.farwesterntavern.com/dinner.php) & Far Western Tavern (http://www.farwesterntavern.com/about_us.php)

The Denny's on the 101 is a good meeting place, rather meet there instead. I thought you and other will be meeting further south and picking me up :D . Denny's is fine Tony, I'll just meet you there at 0800. There are some constructions happening on the 126 freeway and was going to detour and take something else and maybe meet up with Ridgegal and caravan up to Denny's.

Arrival time from San Pedro via Coastal Route 1
I'm wearing a linen short outfit with sandals that day. I think you will be OK casual.

Ok, I have notified Far Western Tavern the Anthony Party of 8 to 10 will be there for dinner at 4:00PM. We will have to do the math because they are doing one check, unless you want separate checks. Casual wear is very acceptable. :)

Hi all, I am sorry I wasn't there today. I ate some bad shrimp and fell ill. I just could not peel myself away from the bed and the toilet.

I hope everyone had a great time regardless.

Tony, I especially apologize to you for not attending. It was so kind of you to even think of us and invite me to join your festive afternoon.

I am sure Anthony "Fiona" took some nice pics.

Hope everyone made it home safely.......

Hugs,

Don't worry kell, got it covered, wished you where there and the rest of the pack that couldn't attend, Thanks to Tony for the invite, Good thing, I ducked out after Solvang, and headed back, may not have made it back. Had to stop a few places before going back and didn't get back till late in the evening. Any ways, I will be cleaning up the pictures and converting them, and post a few pictures. Great day everyone, wished the missed could have made it, it wasn't the same without good friends hanging out together. Kelly, Ron, Dan and others...:D Til the next trip.

Kell?? My name got changed to Fiona?? LOL

Got home @ around 10:50pm.
Great trip & meet.

It was a 489 mile round trip for me.

Kelly, we all hung around Denny's awhile hoping to hear that you were feeling better and could still make the trip. :(

Solvang was great and the food at the Far Western Tavern was excellent.
Good choice Tony.

Nothing better than good food and great company. :)

Alexander took us on a short 1-2 mile detour to the Guadalupe Beach which was an awesome place.
(Anthony - you missed some great beach/ocean photos)
Leaned alot of interesting info there from a park ranger about many fomous movies that were filmed there on the beach.
Too tired right now to remember all of them but Tony will remember - he saw most of the movies.

Photos are sure to come - Anthony took many.

Hello SoCal ROCateers!

I had a very nice Saturday after a hell of a Friday after work! I picked up my friend, retirement planner and co-worker Stacie and hit the road for Ventura and breakfast at Denny's with Joe, Joyce, Anthony and Alex. Sorry the rest of the SoCal ROC regulars could not attend with us. You were missed.

It was a bit overcast but not a bad thing. After breakfast, we headed N/B 101 to the 154, a back way into Solvang. We spent a couple of hours walking and shopping and taking in all the sites.

We hit the road about 3:00 and and took the coast highway (CA 1) into Guadalupe. Alex took us on a little detour to Guadalupe Beach. I have to say, I have been to that area about 4 to 5 times since 1996 and I ever realized that the beach was as close as it was!

We got there and with my strong sense of observation, I realized this was not your ordinary beach. it looked very undisturbed. According to the ranger, the beach between February and October was sectioned off and prohibited to public access for 2 species of endangered birds during their nesting period.

We also found out that the movies G.I. Jane, Hildago, and Pirates of the Caribbean 3 were filmed on this stretch of beach. It was time to leave for dinner so we mounted up and drove to the Far Western Tavern for what I had been waiting for for 3 months! I was in LAMB CHOP HEAVEN! My waitress said I had the biggest rack she had ever seen! Rack of lamb guys!

I was pleased that my guest enjoyed their food as much as I did. We then got on the coastal highway headed home and parted company at the 101 freeway and Coastal Highway split in Oxnard. I made it home after dropping of Stacie at 10: 45. I was staring at my eyelids by 11:10.

I took pictures at breakfast and dinner but I sent them to Kanji to arrange and put together with the ones he took. All in all, it was a nice day trip with friends and food. I'm glad we did it. :D

Tony, we had a great time yesterday.
Here are a few photos in the meantime.

Didn't know we were going to do some off-roading.

wow, i did miss a good place to shoot. Maybe next time, had to swing by a few other places in Santa Barbara before going home, the water look soo cold and inviting to swim, i had to take a quick dip in the PO, luckly i brought my wetsuit with me. That water was cold, and the sun was not in sight, BRRrrrr. Its a good wake up call, maybe we can do a meet at Guadalupe state beach or something and have some fun in the sand with bonfire in the evening, and bring out the smores :D

Finished my lil show....with all the pictures. Its just a simple show, since i have a bunch of projects I have to do, and squeezed this in to get it out. Enjoy.

Awesome photos Joe! wish we were there! next trip for sure.......

Thanks for the pictures! It would've been great to have a run with mostly silvers :)

Great pics, especially the one of Tony. That could be a GQ ad for the restaurant! LOL I noticed in the latter photo there were no bones....that good, Tony?? LOL

Looks like a good time, once again, from the West coasters!

Really great. Sorry I missed it! NEXT time!!
