  • Discussion about the idea of having an overnighter in the Central California Coast region, possibly Moro Bay in the Springtime. April of May would probably be a good choice. Steve will contact a local friend in Atascadero for his input. This would be sanctioned my MTA, SCMA and AMA and could be called the California/Nevada Regional Rally. Camping and motels would be provided. The idea was well received and will be pursued.
