Gotrovr Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Gearing for this event. I plan on staying with my uncle and his son at Holiday RV Park in their massive class A who will also attend. They joined late last year after our Oct annual event and will bring a bone stock Black MKIII Range Rover. I'll escort them along with RonG and his LR3 with my LR3. I plan on meeting up with RonG this Friday to discuss logistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NigelCowan Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 Looks like we are going to join in on the fun! We should be at Pismo around noon on Friday although not staying at Oceano. We will be staying at Pismo SB and hope to visit with the group Friday afternoon and join in on the Garcia Ridge tour on Saturday afternoon. It will be the whole family (5 of us) coming down but I'm not really sure who will stay around the campground, play in the sand or go tear around in the LR4...
