Those needing motel reservations in San Diego will have help finding a place to stay by the group that was here for our Black Hills Rod Run last July! Skip has done a lot of pre planning so we can all cruise at about 350 miles a day in a group for safety and convenience sake and stay overnight at specific locations and arrive in San Diego on May 6th. In time to enjoy the beach festivities from start to finish. The plans are to travel on mostly 2 lane roads so it won t be so boring as traveling on Interstate Highways that far.
