Jon and Judy’s Porsche Run to Parkfield,

“The Earthquake Capitol of the World”!

Saturday, February 1, 2003

 

Come join us for a fun run to the little town of Parkfield, in Cholame Valley.  We will meet at 9:30 a.m. at Margie’s Diner, in San Luis Obispo; located off of Highway 101 and Los Osos Valley Road, on Calle Joaquin. 

 

Please be prepared for a full day of exciting activities by having a full tank of gas, a full container of water, and an empty bladder!

 

We will depart at 10:00 a.m. and our route will take us through the back roads and hills of Santa Margarita, Creston, and Shandon. 

 

Since it will be the first day of February, a month with a lot of holidays, we will give every car a quiz sheet with lots of fun questions.  Think:  Valentine’s Day and love, President’s Day and history, and earthquakes and geology!  A special prize will be rewarded to the car (driver and/or passenger) who answers the most questions correctly!

 

We will stop for lunch at 12:00 p.m. in the quaint town of Parkfield at the Parkfield Cafe, where they are “still waiting for the BIG ONE”!   Parkfield is located along the San Andreas Fault and they have endured a major quake about every 22 years!

 

After lunch, we will depart at 2:00 p.m. and continue on through Vineyard Canyon to San Miguel.  Watch out for darting squirrels, road runners, and wild turkeys!   Extra points may be awarded!

 

We will stop for dessert at 3:00 p.m. at Kelly’s in Paso Robles; located at 1646 Spring Street, on the corner of 17th and Spring.   Kelly’s, “Where every dish is a work of art”!  The winner of the road quiz will be announced during dessert.  The run will end at 4:00 p.m. when we depart from the restaurant for our journey home.

 

Please call or e-mail to RSVP.  We need to let the Parkfield Cafe know how many to expect.
