Well, this is great news! Pat and I had a great time last year and this year we decided to make this our "The Block" get together...on a Saturday even!

We both got reservations 'cause we're spending the night in Solvang and they are scarce.

Can't wait to see everyone this June.

[B]If you are planning to spend the night, do it now. Rooms are already hard to come by.

Default Remember to arrive with a full tank of gas!

There's a gas station on the corner where we meet, in case anyone needs to top-off before parking. Please don't wait until 8:55 to decide you need more gas...

And after lunch if anyone needs a fill-up before the return trip, Buellton is the best place to go. It's just a couple miles west of Solvang.

We're in. I called around and the only hotel/motel I could find with an available room on 6/18 was the Motel 6 in Buellton.

Got no reservation confirmation online from Motel 6 after two requests. Cancelled and got a room at Svendsgaard's Lodge in Solvang. Looks like a nice place.

BTW, for those of you staying the night, the Hitching Post in Buellton is the best place in the area to eat, in my opinion. It was featured in the movie Sideways. We've eaten there several times, including after the Corvette run up last year. Their flatiron steaks are to die for.

Had a blast last year and looking forward to going again this year. My poor vette has only been out for the garage once in 2 months since I got the CTS-V.

^ You should ask a moderator to lock down last year's thread to avoid confusion.
