Here's the list I have so far of everyone going. As of now the meeting place is Carl's Jr. in Alpine @ 9am. There's a gas station right up the street and a few of us are going to show up early and grab breakfast.

DEFINITELY GOING:
====================
* Tanto
* Marc P
* Phalanx
* TJMatt
* Ecchamberlin
* freejake3
* RobT2k
* geornnr
* wifesaysimadumbass

MAYBE
==========
* Beerdrinker

We'll be leaving Alpine at 9:15am so if you're running late or find out you're not going to make it, please give one of us a call. PM me if you need a contact number.

The list has been edited, Mikey

That Janet's Montana Cafe sounds cool. Here's the directions and I think a group breakfast would be doable. I'm gonna say that anyone looking to join me for breakfast at this place should get there by 8:15am.

ATTENDEES FOR THE BREAKFAST
========================
* Tanto
* Ecchamberlin (+1)
* wifesaysimadumbass (+2)
* Marc P (+1)

Directions to this place from the I-8:

1. Merge onto I-8 E
2. Take the TAVERN RD exit toward ALPINE.
3. Turn RIGHT onto TAVERN RD. 0.1 miles (0.1 km)
4. Turn LEFT onto ALPINE BLVD. 1.1 miles (1.8 km)

Does that sounds about right, Mikey?

No arguements here - I'm still kicking myself in the arse for selling my '85 a couple of years ago. Why would anyone in their right mind sell a straight axle?

Have I ever mentioned that I love food?

If not... I DO!

A good breakfast sounds just CAPITAL.

I say we special order carne asada bacon strips.

:bounce2: Getting the itch to wheel again. :bounce2:

It is truely a sickness that I hope I never find a cure for.

Andy - Yes. Hopefully anyone who comes to the diner to eat breakfast will be able to skidaddle over to Carl's Jr by that time.

Eric - Awesome. I'm going to edit my thread to include peope attending the breakfast so we can reserve a table for everyone.

Ummm...rental...Kia Sorrento...lets see. It could probably handle Corral Canyon but Carveacre is definitely one that you probably wouldn't want to take it up.

I have a nice tow strap if you don't care about your rental agreement That would be very interesting.

Holy crap, John! You should come out. You'll probably think your '03 Runner is the baddest thing on wheels after wheeling that Sorrento.

Carveacre is almost between San Diego and El Centro.
