Lance Factory Tour and BBQ Rally

Bravo Farms!  Our last stop before we head into Acton.

Yes food will be provided at the factory. Leave Campground at 1:00 pm and return approx 7-8 pm

Our pitstop...we're on our way!

Hey Randy, aren't you on the road yet? Stopping at Boulder tonight?

just for last minute planning...

 

The BBQ is at the factory - right?

 

What time do you expect it to start, and what time to finish?

 

tks

Be Vewry vewry quiet, I'm hunting tigers!

 

Seriously, at night if you hear lions and Tigers roar, it's because Tippi Hedren's Shambala Preserve is right down the road.  She has a ton on Lions, Tigers and Ligers plus other animals.

 

 

 

We are coming from the far east bay area ( Antioch) heading down I-5. according to google maps, the first choice is to stay on 5 and then east on 138.  The second google choice is to take 5 south to hwy 58 and then go east to hwy 14 and south on 14 to Acton.  The route via 138 is only 8 miles and 15 minutes shorter compared to the hwy 58 and 14 routing but the grade going up hwy 58 through tehachapi isn't as steep relative to the grapevine. 

 

The major freight train line between the central valley and los angeles parallels hwy 58 which tells you that it is an easier climb. 

 

Get yourself from Monterey to I-5 and take 5 to the hwy 58 turnoff.  Hwy 99 is old, bumpty, congested with ag traffic and it's probably harvest season.  The last time we headed to Lancaster/Acton, we went I-5 and 138 but this time we are taking the 58/14 route for a change of scenery. The grapevine can be a vehicle killer depending upon your rig and temperatures are projected to be in the lower 90's. See you at the rally.

I apologize if this has been discussed but I am making my meal plan and grocery list for the weekend and wondered if Saturday night will turn into a potluck.  

 

At the Solano rally I was so concerned with the potluck food that I didn't plan for our individual meals so this time, I want to plan ahead.  

 

Thanks and really looking forward to the weekend.  

Yep, picked up copy of proof of current vaccinations this morning from vet. Good reminder. We always keep a copy in glove compartment of vehicle but I had forgotten to get an updated copy when Zoe had a recent vaccination.

Any thoughts about taking Hwy 138 over to Acton. Last time, from Hwy 5, we dropped down to Santa Clarita and horseshoed our way back up to Acton. Google maps wants us to take Hwy 58 from 99 and make our way to Acton. No problem with that but it seems Hwy 138 might be more direct?

Yes, we just booked Sadie and Uni there too.  no worries since they will relax at a country club.  I wonder if they have a spa there for me too. ;-). Thank you

I'll be happy to see Zoe again!

 You're welcome. Please make sure you have your pets vaccination current and a copy of proof for the kennel. C Ya at the tour. 

Zoe has a reservation at the Canine Country Club while we tour the factory. Much too hot last time. Thanks for the info.

Looking forward to the rally, and seeing a caravan of Lances headed down I5 from northern California.  If anyone wants to caravan and meet up along the way, text us at 925-783-3099. Two more days of work until meeting new friends and seeing some old friends. 

 

You are going to need more than 100.   I will have some too.  Thanks Roger... cya in a couple of days.

It is for Thursday and Friday,  Show up on Thursday after noon.

Hey Eric,
We are down for 2 days on space 71 under Cap, my poor record keeping requires me to ask, are we showing up on Thursday for Thursday night and Friday night? Or are we to show up on Friday for Friday night and Saturday night?
Sorry to ask, neither one of us can remember...
Thanks,
Ed (aka Cap) and Terri (aka T.O.) Bruns

As Eric expressed some concern regarding privacy with pre-printed name tags, I scrapped that idea for now.  BUT, I did buy 100 Avery "Hello, My Name is:" stick-on things and a couple of Sharpies to bring along.  That way you can fill in the info you want.

 

I suggest your real name and an a.k.a. line for your screen name.  I'll make sure they get to the rally HQs, which will be Eric's rig in space 5.

Is someone making name badges.  I can remember maybe one new persons name a month so without name badges I'm in big trouble.
