We will meet up with the group at North County Fair. Anyone know where they are going to stop there? By On the Border? Keep an eye out for a white 968.

Mike:

We typically stop on the south side of the mall at Romano's Macaroni Grill. It's right next to the south entrance off Via Rancho Pkwy. (You can Google it.) My "guesstimation" is we'll be pulling in sometime around ... say ... 9:30-ish. It's one of two designated "rest-stops" so we'll be there for about 30 minutes, give or take.

I'll PM my cell to you so you can call me/I can call you as we get close.

BTW: didn't know about the 968. Nice!! Perfect touring machine.

[Dan Chambers]

Mike; check your PM's.
