Default Vette Cruise to San Simeon, LOts of pics!!

I had the pleasure of going on my 1st Vette Cruise this weekend!! 4 of us from the California Central Valley met up with members from Sacramento and cruised to San Simeon, California. We turned a few heads in route and at each rest stop!!! Saturday we all cruised to Pismo Beach,Ca to the "Donut Derelicts" Cruise-In... lots to see there, My wife and I broke off there and We finished the day at William Randolf Hurst's place "Hurst Castle" We had a Great time, and met some Awesome Forum members from another area!! It was a pleaseure to have made the trip with people who enjoy their Vette as much as my wife and I do!! I highly recommend these type of cruises!! We had a blast!!!

Awesome AWESOME pics!! Just last month I drove my vette through Arroyo Grande / Pismo / Avila beach areas en route to Seattle for eventual shipping to Alaska. I had planned to visit Hearst's place as well but ran out of time... Those pics make me wish I didn't skip it!

I turned a few heads with just my solo Vette in the various rest stops... I can't even imagine rolling into one with a dozen others. Very cool!

I spent a week in that area last July. We were staying in Paso Robles. Toured Hurst Castle, hit Pismo Beach, San Simeon, Morro Bay, Cambria, etc. My wife and our friends hit about ten wineries around Paso Robles (I got to be the designated driver... )

I loved that whole Central Coast area - my issues with ever living there would be the cost of living and EARTHQUAKES!

We weren't driving the Vette - but there sure are some great roads for the Vette there.

Thanks for sharing the pics!

We sure did have a great time... the cost of living isn't that bad!!! We hit Morrow Bay as well for some shopping (for the little lady) and Cambria for their Chili Cookoff and Car show before heading to Hurst Castle... Then back to Paso Robles for dinner at Big Bubbas Bad BBQ!!! Then home.... And knock on wood, no earthquakes since I've lived here!!
