NorCal MINIs' Hearst Castle Overnight is June 12-13, 2010. We are staying at the San Simeon Pines Seaside Resort, a quaint older resort on Cambria's Moonstone Beach with fireplaces, a heated pool, a private beach and a very small par 3 golf course (bring a 7, 9, wedge and putter. That's all the clubs you will need to play), at the special rate of $120/night, not including tax (with tax $133.20). NO PETS PERMITTED.

YOU MUST HAVE BOOKED YOUR ROOM DIRECTLY WITH THE RESORT BY CALLING 866-927-4648 AND REFERRING TO RESERVATION NO. B0329300N BEFORE MAY 11, 2010.  YOU MAY STILL BE ABLE TO BOOK A ROOM BUT THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES.  Other local accommodations may also be available.


For Sunday, June 13, 2010, we have reserved for a group of 30 the 10:30 a.m. Hearst Castle Tour (this requires us to be there by 10:10 a.m.) The Tour starts with a 40 minute film and is followed by a 55 minute walking tour that starts at 11:10 a.m., covers approximately 2/3 miles and a total of 170 stairsteps, and is complete at 1:05 p.m. (For those with accessibility issues, an accessibly designed tour will start at after the movie at 11:20 a.m. and complete at about 1:20 p.m. If you will need to book the accessibility tour make sure you tell us when you pay for your reservation.) We were able to get the following discounted group prices for the tour:
