I didn't know about the race. That does put a big dent into the plans... I've recieved a few pms requesting a vote so I'll toss it up there so we can see where the majority lies...

From my experience, when there is a race do not go, There will be double the price Hotel, there will be blocked off streets leading to the dive sites, there will be very nasty parking, so much so of all three, that the dive shops even complain of loss of business.

This is all said from the 5 years of experience of this happening..:depressed:

When there are races, concerts, etc. That run hotel prices up, we normally end up staying in Watsonville or Salinas. Our start time isn't very early in the morning so it shouldn't be that big an issue

Okey when I mentioned my weekend plans to the Mrs I got "The Look" you guys know what I mean.... so I'm out for Sunday the 9th. It seems like Jims right and moving into June might be a good idea.

Sorry to the guys who were planning to be there this weekend... but the bright side is you have Sb here to use and coordinate a mini gathering of sorts. We'll just have to put off the big gathering for a better date.

 

[Brewski]

The great thing about a forum like this is we don't need a sanctioned event to get together. But its always fun to do.
So moving this to June, I'm thinking that the Tahoe M&G should go to Aug. to allow for people to plan. Sound good?
