I'm down for the long tour. I spent some time at Fort Hunter and the Mission next door is cool too. Nice ride through the twisties. Check your speed when you go through the Army reservation...

If you're cruising through Cambria, decent bbq at the Main Street Grill.
Street parking only...but worth a short walk (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

Ok, So Friday night we already booked a tour at the castle.


Ok, then in that case Sandy wants the wine tour. We always drive way more miles than any sane person should. A little variety never hurt.

Don't worry Rick, there are plenty of scenic views on the winery tour and again on the Sat. drive. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hey Jim, my wife and I will be shopping there Thursday. Maybe we can hook up for lunch at the BBQ joint that Marty suggested.

Hey Mike, sign me up for the 4-hour drive. Also, I believe you have to have proof of insurance and current registration to pass through Ft. Hunter Ligget, so folks should make sure their papers are up to date.

Yes, please make sure that you have current registration, proof of insurance, and a valid ID, including for a passenger in you vehicle. Also follow all posted speed limits while on the base.

Mike D and I drove through last Sunday, and there was no one at the check points. It seems that they have moved inward to a much tighter and more secure perimeter.
We still need to be mindful of military regulations while on their property.

Thanks, Don

I used to live on Fort Hunter Liggett, Yes please be mindful of the posted speed limits as the mp's are young and full of themselves, also If you see a posted sign that says tank training DON"T GO THERE! Great place to drive! The Mission is beautiful and there used to be a restaurant up the hill from Mission.

To clarify the Fort Hunter Liggett area... The main road we will travel on is Army property. We will pass through an entrance gate to the reservation. There are no guards at the first entrance. If we are going on the active part of the base, there is a guard shack and armed police there. If you travel through this gate you will need registration, insurance and ID cars for anyone traveling on base.

We can travel through the reservation, visit the Mission and leave with out passing the active guard shack. While on the reservation mind your speed. The Army police patrol the entire reservation. If you get pulled over, you will need all the documentation mentioned above. There is a very low tolerance for speeders. There is also a 10mph speed limit while passing troops on the side of the road. You will also see the speed limit jump up/down quickly near the active part of the base (after the green bridge). Watch the road signs.

For the most part through the reservation will be uneventful. Just be aware of where you are. Do not have drugs or weapons in your car on the reservation.

I have witnessed drivers being arrested at the guard shack for not having ID or because of a warrant. Make sure your paperwork is in order.

Assuming we are coming in from the coast, after the green bridge, a left turn will take us to the Mission. The active guard shack will be on our right hand side as we approach the Mission. There is plenty of parking at the Mission and it's a cool place to check out. A right turn after the bridge will take us out of the base toward Bradley via Jolon Road. At Jolon rd. is the Eastern gate; no guards here either. From the gate near the coast to the East gate, watch your speed.

Thanks Mike, We will make sure everybody is VERY aware.

The Mission is undergoing restoration and is covered with scaffolding and those green cloth construction fences. Doesn't make for a great picture. We had planned on skipping because of the construction and the 356 Club will be there having their lunch.
We can stop for a bit I suppose, our lunch stop is only another 5-10 min. down the road.

Yes, but you have to carry extra gas and parts, spares and the camera crew. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
