NorCal MINIs' Marine Mammal Center One Fun Run

We had a great time on the Marine Mammal Center Tour and Run learning about marine mammals and how the rehab. Enjoy the slideshow from Saturday, August 21, 2010 and join us for our next event

Ave. Of The Giants Overnight Is Sept. 11-12, 2010

Don't miss this great event. On Saturday September 11, 2010, we will stop at the Chandelier Tree (bring a picnic lunch) ($5/car) so we can take pictures of our MINIs as we drive through the tree. Then it is on to Shelter Cove, CA, a jewel of a small village on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific. Click here for the itinerary. We have blocked rooms at the Inn of the Lost Coast where we have been able to negotiate a room rate of $130 ($149 including room tax). The Inn has a beautiful hot tub and large decks. Every room has a panoramic view of the Pacific and a patio.

To reserve your room phone 707-986-7521 or toll free 888-570-9676 and tell Justin that you are with NorCal MINIs.

Inn space is limited as the Inn has only 18 rooms total although there are other local lodging options. Make you reservation today. We will have dinner in Shelter Cove.

On Sunday, following breakfast, we will tour the Avenue of the Giants all the way up to Scotia where we will again picnic before we start back to the Bay Area and make a special stop for dinner on the way back.

Bring your FRS Radios. After you have a confirmed reservation please RSVP to your email calendar invitation or send an RSVP to info@norcalminis.com. We look forward to seeing all of you on this great overnight.

NorCal MINIs will run to the Antioch Delta Blues Festival on Saturday, September 18, 2010. The festival is a free, and no alcohol event put on in Antioch, CA with some of the best blues artists from the Bay Area. Check at the this year's line-up. NorCal MINIs will go on a morning run before the Festival. Stay tuned for an announcement of a meet up location. You won't want to miss this rockin' time!
