Lake Not So Woebegone

This morning we had a light breakfast at the hotel then out and about to get our credentials for the weekend. KTLA Ch.5 was doing live broadcasting and we caught the tail end of that. One of the first "not so normal" cars we saw was this Nash Rambler that was more engine than car...




Not much was going on today so we took off for Lake Arrowhead, did a little driving around in the mountains, stopped at the Lake Arrowhead Resort for a beverage and to enjoy the view of the Lake. Then it was down to Alpine Village for lunch at Woody's Boathouse, right on the Lake. The theme there is Chris Craft all the way, including Booths placed in the stern section of the classic motorboats. They have a great Soup and Salad bar, besides a full menu and complete bar. The level of the lake was way up from last year, so that's a good sign.




After lunch we stopped to visit with a fairly familiar looking fellow...






We needed to get back to SanBerdo to meet friend's of Jay & Franci'; Gary & Paula Weber, who were joining us for the Rendezvous. Gary's another "car nut" and owns a classic Woody (not being shown this weekend) and I'd originally met them at a Long Beach Grand Prix several years ago. After getting them checked into the Hotel, we headed down to the Hospitality tent for some car watching and dinner. I'll follow up this post with photos...
