Sixth Annual “Snakes At The Lake” Tahoe Cruise – Saturday June 27, 2015

[CA302LS]

With summer just 2 short months away, it’s time to post-up notice of “Snakes at the Lake” – 2015, which is scheduled for Saturday, June 27th. 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 Tahoe Vista on the north shore, where we’re making arrangements again for a relaxing day enjoying a BBQ and Car Show.

For a glimpse of a previous SATL, check out Jason’s great pictures here: http://photos.nowplaying.tv/Lifein2013/2013-Snakes-at-the-Lake/i-nsF3dbr

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. After accounting for expenses, any funds left over will be donated to the Carroll Shelby Foundation http://www.cscf.org/ so donations are welcomed ;-)

Cost for attending the event is:

$40 per driver/vehicle, which includes facility rental, state park entrance fee, BBQ lunch and cold refreshments.

$10 for each additional guest to cover BBQ lunch and cold refreshments.

Payment Link: http://www.gofundme.com/s3ujd74 Reservations are requested by no later than Sunday June 21st. 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.

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 ;-)

I wish we had something like this on the East end of the US. An event like that lets you enjoy your street car to the fullest. I envoy you guys and gals on the west side. You have the weather, the views, Blue waters, Sunshine, Roads that are not mine fields, best looking Hot Rods/Cars hands down. However, we do have plenty of rainfall and Snow. Which keeps us out of droughts.
Enjoy yourself...

 

[VoodooBoss]

Jim, where will the car show and BBQ be held?

Rick,

Last year the roadway construction in Kings Beach forced us to move over to the NTPUD boat launch parking facility on North Lake Blvd. (Hwy 28) at the foot of National Avenue. It's a brand new facility with lots of shade and it allows us to park upwards of 80 vehicles.

Jim

BTW - what's with Google Maps these past few days???

 

[VoodooBoss]

I found it. I might have a friend of mine meet me there so I wanted to confirm the address.

7010 North Lake Blvd. Tahoe Vista, CA

I might be able to swing this. I'll be in Yosemite that morning wrapping up a family vacation. Maybe I can bring the Boss there and meet you guys. Gotta talk it over with Boss actual first.

Sean,

The OTS crew gets into Meyers for a fuel stop about 10:15 - 10:30am. If you leave Yosemite about 8:00am, you can meet us there via Hwy395/89 about the same time.

Jim

That sure beats leaving at 6 am!

Snakes at the Lake - 2015 is still 3 weeks away, but we reached 60 cars tonight.

With only about 10 parking slots left, anybody wanting to join us should jump on board soon...

[CA302LS]

Registration packets will be handed out in Old Town Sac starting at about 8:00am on Saturday morning.

They contain a blue ticket that gets you into the Tahoe Vista parking facility (and a raffle later in the afternoon) as well as your red lunch ticket(s).

If you're joining the conga line on Hwy 50 or meeting us in Meyers, please see me there in the golf course parking lot just after 10:00 am for your packet. I'll be in the SBY Boss 302 LS. We’ll be leaving Meyers at 10:45am sharp.

Thanks!

Jim

 

[VoodooBoss]

Is everyone all set for this event? Bruce I'll be in Folsom by 8:30 and probably sooner. It looks like the weather is going to hold out for us but there's still the possibility of a thunder shower in the afternoon.

 

[cobrakidz]

We have about 5-8 cars meeting at the Cars and Coffee in Folsom at highway 50 and Scott rd in the Hampton Inn parking lot. If you can't find Jim in Meyers to get your packets we will be handing them out too, look for us in a GHIG Boss. I will be at C&C early as we want to be ready to leave by 845.......

Rick,

I think I'm ready, but I'll know for sure about 4:00pm tomorrow...

We have a significant Boss turnout this year, and we definitely need to get a group shot!

See you in the morning...

The Folsom crew should assemble near Bruce's GHIG 302 when we reach Meyers. We'll knock out these registration packets first. Thanks.

Jim, thanks for organizing another great event. The weather was perfect and everyone had a great time. I even won my first car show trophy! Jarod shot a bunch of video and he'll be working on it this week to post later. A few photos:

[superhero]

you guys and gals on the west coast sure do have great events. Wish we had something like this on the east coast. A day of fun with mustang friends enjoying there ride.

 

[ufnavy06]

Didn't make it obviously to those who were there but I enjoyed Yosemite. A touch warmer there.
