[Shotimes] Re: California Convention (2004) Itinerary

[Josh Salaets]

First off, I wanted the thank George and anyone else that has started the
planning for the 2004 convention - the plan sounds excellent!  Let me know
if there's anything I can do to help out George.  This is a convention I
actually will be able to make it to, and I want to help out as much as I
can. : )

I was able to check this museum out last October while I was visiting a
friend in Sunnyvale.  We were on our way back from an autocross in
Sacramento and we decided to stop by the museum to check it out.  The museum
had all older cars, but they were all very cool looking, had a noteable
history behind them, and were meticulously maintained.  I'm pretty sure this
place was in Walnut Creek or real close, and definitely worth going to if
you get the chance.

Oh yeah, the Sierras.  I've spent many summers up there camping with my
family!  That's one of the places I miss most about California!
