[JONAT] SECTOR ROUTES

[Ron Rader]

JONAT:
I am about a week behind with my comments.

I think it is important to have a beginning and an end each day. After all that
to me is the purpose of the tour.  We all start from one place and we give out a
route and a map for that section. We say here is a nice place for lunch if you
want to stop here or here are several places for lunch.

Here is where we are meeting at the end of the day.
Here is a budget hotel and here is a nicer Hotel.
Here are three places where you can have dinner.

To my wife and I the fun part of long distance rallies or drives is dining with
the other participants. We are in the car by ourselves all day long. Rallies
like the Copperstate have about 50 cars. You have breakfast lunch and dinner at
each stop within a given time frame and you eat with someone different a each
meal (or not).

On my sector we will arrive from Las Vegas on Tuesday night. I will have
something to do on Wednesday, (optional) and a Mexican dinner at the Petersen
automotive museum on Wednesday night, Cinco de Mayo, the 5th of May. I will have
to have a head count for these events. And yes there will be a charge.

I am planning to get the local Jaguar clubs to meet us at the museum that night.

On Thursday morning I have planned a question and answer fun rally / drive
through some areas that even locals seldom get to see. You can meet us at he
start or not. I have a drive through the Santa Monica Mountains the fields of
Oxnard, a break at a stage coach stop and lunch and tour at the Fess Parker
winery in Los Olivos.

I think these are roads that everyone will love. There will also be a route from
west LA to SLO on the freeway direct for those who don't want the scenic tour.

I am looking forward to Jerry's drive to a rural mission. I am looking forward
to driving on great roads that I would not take if I pulled out a map and went
on my own.

Believe me the roads that I will take you on do not show up on most maps, but
all are paved and safe. I have run rallies and drives on all of these.  IMO we
are looking to each sector co coordinator to show off the best roads for Jaguars
in each area.  With fun places to stop, and sights to see.
