7:30 Sounds good. Just got oil changed and the wheels/tires swapped. Inside cleaned and outside shined. Now for the big question - red or white; Rhone style or California casual. Maybe a surprise is best!

Less than 24 hours... tick..tock..tick..tock

Elise and Steve - enjoy the trip over.

we are taking some good ones - especially the group photos - perfect!

just completed a drive of the area surrounding Mammoth Lakes, how exciting. i've never seen such amazing mountains! my breath is taken away, yes, or is that the 8,000ft altitude difference?

Craig led the way through the twisty turnys and Steve and Mark were gracious enough to demonstrate their aftermarket exhausts for me, as well as let me drive (suckers... i mean, um, awesomeness!)

*grin*

meeting up for wine and fireworks soon, then tomorrow it is off home again back to the land of fog and flat and exhaust article writing.

also need to start planning the next Z7 event! lots of AX coming up on the calendar, and i think it is about time for a Santana Row show and shine. also, i know there are some volunteers out there who want to offer their home out to a Cayman holiday party (goodness, it is almost that time already.)

Arrrghhh!! Totally wish I could be there, but I suppose the wedding of a friend is more important. Wait...........it is, isn't it??

Can't wait to see the pix Elyse!

I'll upload the rest to a web page within the next day or so but in the mean time here is a quick one...

Three Caymans at altitude just south of Mammoth Lakes

SteveWalker · #67 (**permalink**) 08-25-2008, 03:56 AM

Um, maybe because that one was just taken yesterday...

On a more serious note... I would like to thank Mark and Elyse for putting together a great weekend. Mark, you are a great host. Awesome driving, beautiful scenery and great food.
Thanks again.

You guys should send this picture (others too?) to Ken S. for the Cayman Calendar

**grrlsix** · #71 (**permalink**) 08-25-2008, 08:30 PM

omg, stop spelling my name funny! Elise, sheesh.

Mark is a great planner, and was a wonderful and intensely beautiful weekend! also like to thank Craig and his wife for the great kegger they put together in their hotel room - what a riot!

here's to Mammoth '09...

Sorry. I've been spelling it Elise for every previous post but saw the Elyse spelling in one of the more recent ones. So I thought I had been spelling it wrong before and you just were to polite to point it out.
