      How about a closer destination–staying in and around the Temecula Wine Country–with a focus on special, fun activities? Camping is booked at the Dripping Springs campground in the Cleveland National Forrest. There are numerous hotels in Temecula starting at about $170 (Rodeway Inn) for two nights if you book online this week. Activities include a stop in Idyllwild for lunch, a trip to Warner Springs to view the desert art collection, and brunch at Doffo Winery (tasting and brunch are pay as you go). Please sign up on the ride list however so that I can get a good count for brunch reservations.

      Friday – depart from Irv Seavers and head out Carbon Canyon, pick up the 60 and 91 to Banning. We climb up the mountain for lunch in Idyllwild, then down to our campground and Temecula hotels.

      Saturday – we will do a loop out to Borrego Springs to see the desert art? A short distance but will spend time enjoying the sculptures and have a nice lunch.

      Sunday – we will enjoy brunch together–I have reservations for 11:00–and rabble around the moto collection.  Tasting and lunch are on your own, pay-as-you-go. Even if you are not coming out for the weekend, you can still join us for brunch! I must have a solid count though.

          Eric do you mean the desert art in Borrego Springs, not Warner Springs ? The metal structures that are eagles, & horses, & dinosaurs, & dragons ??

                  UPDATE: We have reservations at Doffo for 11:00 next Sunday. Tasting and brunch are on your own, pay as you go. If you’ve never been there, the property is beautiful, the wine is excellent, and the motorcycles are cool. Definitely a fun vibe. Remember, you do not have to be coming out for the weekend. You can still join us for brunch on Sunday. Please let me know if you are coming though.

                          Karl and Sharon, glad you are joining us. Two bikes I’m guessing?

                            Willis,
                            I will miss hearing Chinese soap operas at 3:00 a.m. when I get up to pee but I’m glad you will be riding with us.

                                    While I have Airbnb near by, I hope to hang out at campsite and look forward hearing tall tales with a libation at the ready.

                                        Eric, Would you be willing to take Ortega to the 15 freeway? I would like to meet up with the group at the store at the East end of Ortega in Elsinore. Just give me the time to be there. Thanks Ed

                                                    I can only ride on Saturday this weekend. Where will the group be meeting on Saturday morning and what time is KSU?
