With summer only a few short months away, it’s time to post-up notice of “Snakes at the Lake” – 2014, which is scheduled for Saturday, June 21st. As in years past, our current plan has us departing Old Town Sacramento and cruising up Highway 50 through the Sierras as we make our way to the lake. We’ll stop briefly for fuel and a rest break at the Chevron station in Meyers and stage at the golf course parking lot across the way where members from Nevada will meet us. Then we’ll head up scenic Highway 89 on the west side of the lake past Emerald Bay, the Rubicon and Sunnyside areas towards Kings Beach State Park on the north shore, where we’re making arrangements again for a relaxing lakeside BBQ and Car Show.
For a glimpse of what to expect, here are Jason’s pictures from last year http://photos.nowplaying.tv/Lifein2013/2013-Snakes-at-the-Lake/i-nsF3dbr and gt350lp’s PhotoShow from 2012: http://www.photoshow.com/watch/Me2Yx7Rw
RSVP’s and pre-payment are required for this event so we can anticipate parking layout and determine how many meals will be needed. Please use the gofundme link below to facilitate this transaction. When your payment is confirmed, this will be noted on the roster below. Preferential beachside parking will be issued in the order paid reservations are received. So if you want to claim that perfect spot, sign-up early! After accounting for expenses, any funds left over will be donated to the Carroll Shelby Foundation: http://www.cscf.org/
Cost for attending the event is:
$35 per driver/vehicle, which includes facility rental, BBQ lunch and cold refreshments, and a California state park vehicle entrance fee.
$10 for each additional guest to cover BBQ lunch and cold refreshments.
Payment Link: http://www.gofundme.com/7yrfu8 - Reservations are requested by Sunday June 8th, but no later than Sunday June 15th. Thanks!
So mark your calendars and post-up if you’re interested in joining us for a great day on the road and at the lake with other “Powered by Ford” enthusiasts. Please note the year and model of your vehicle when replying so trophy categories can be determined in advance based upon expected attendance. Also, I’m considering T-shirts this year imprinted with a TS-PCR SATL graphic for $20 or less each. Let me know if you would be interested, including size and quantity.
Note: For ease of editing, I’ll maintain the list of Snakes attendees in Post #2 immediately below.
Here’s the address where we’ll be meeting in Old Town Sac. Front and 101 K Streets, Sacramento, CA 95814 Let’s plan on arriving around 8:00am and we’ll head out about 8:30am. Note: We’ll be at Steamers on the corner to process your registrations (and get a morning caffeine fix).
