It’s time once again for the ride to Cambria, CA, our annual excuse to ride the Pacific Coast Highway along the Big Sur coastline and get together with good friends old and new! This year’s gathering will be May 9th – 10th. Lodging will be available at the BlueBird Motel (800-552-5434) and the Creekside Inn (800-269-5212), both a short walking distance from dinner and evening activities. Dinner will be at Linn’s restaurant, a long-time fixture of great food and famous for their Olallieberry pies and desserts.
Cambria is located at the foot of the scenic Highway One/Big Sur coast, halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Mainly known as an artist's colony nestled in a forest of towering Monterey pines, Cambria offers visitors restaurants, art galleries, antique and specialty shops and scores of nearby wineries. Also, the world renowned Hearst Castle is just 6 miles to the north, as well as one of the largest elephant seal rookeries along the west coast at Peidras Blancas.

Dinner - Linn's

Dinner will be at 6:30 p.m. Saturday night at Linn's. This will be a sit-down affair instead of the buffet, and I am working with Aaron Linn on the menu for our group. They have a broad variety of great foods, and their pot pies, meat loaf and fruit pies are the staples that helped make their name. They also have great steaks specials for dinner quite a bit of the time. I'll provide more information on this as it gets closer to the date.
Once you get your room reserved please add your name to the attendee list on this thread so I can get a headcount for dinner.
