I think Rand got most everything being the photographer.. I got a bunch IIRC.
I digress. My thoughts for events to occupy the time are below. 1. Poker run 2. Mammoth Brewery 3. Bodie Ghost Town site visit (Possibly discuss with the Rangers about doing a photoshoot there?) 4. Visit Mono Lake 5. Visit Yosemite (Not yellowstone) valley floor, Possibly split off for a hike for those that want it? Some killer hikes/water falls in the area. 6. Glacier Point 7. Mariposa Giant Sequoias (If open) 8. Scouted drives that are recommended with routes for those with extra time 9. Casino time? Not sure if this.. Not my cup of tea... 10. I am not sure what is involved in a hill climb race, I imagine way more than possible and above our financial means, but maybe its something to look into? 11. Timed concourse style rally. I think restraunts will take some research as well. For those that are staying longer we could recommend a trip out to Murphy's either on their way up or back or on a boring day. There is a strip of winery tasting rooms and nice restaurants that would make for quite an interesting lunch/evening for a small group. Jamestown is an old miners town and has some cool interesting history, Its on its way to/from Murphys. Just spitballing idea's. Its an area packed full of roads. And I dont know anything about the Nevada side... |

Visit Yosemite (Not yellowstone) valley floor, Possibly split off for a hike for those that want it? Some killer hikes/water falls in the area. What? It's just a little longer drive right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) 6. Glacier Point Good idea 7. Mariposa Giant Sequoias (If open) Does it close for snow? 8. Scouted drives that are recommended with routes for those with extra time Ok... 9. Casino time? Not sure if this.. Not my cup of tea... Me either. I've got casinos all around me and I only go for the shows and restaurants. 10. I am not sure what is involved in a hill climb race, I imagine way more than possible and above our financial means, but maybe its something to look into? Timing equipment. Insurance. We would have to pair with the PCA 924 SIG which isn't a bad idea anyway as they will give us money! 11. Timed concourse style rally. Yes... I think restraunts will take some research as well.

Timing equipment. Insurance. We would have to pair with the PCA 924 SIG which isn't a bad idea anyway as they will give us money! My thoughts were to NOT run timing equipment to lessen insurance costs (I know that bumps things up incredibly), but simply get a road closed for us to play around with half a day. Each person goes up, then down the road. We could give each driver a walky as they go out, if something happens they walky for help or we send a chase party 3 minutes later. Just a thought. Care to elaborate about the PCA thing? I am not familiar with their involvement and what they can and can not do for us. |
