CCMC drive to Jalama Beach Store/Grill (off Hwy 1 south of Lompoc) on Saturday April 2nd. Jalama Beach Store, California Details will be forth coming but here is the basic plan: Leave Pismo Beach Outlet Stores at 9:30 AM Stop in Orcutt to pick up any other cars at 10:00 AM. Get to Jalama Beach about 11:30 AM Leave Jalama around 1:00 PM. I have two different routes for the way home, depending on if people want a few more curves on the way home. Opt 1: Once back to US 101 just take 101 back home. Should be back to Orcutt about 2:00-2:30 PM. Opt 2: Once back to US 101 take Foxen Canyon Rd back to Orcutt. Should be back to Orcutt around 2:30-3:00 PM. If some people want to stop for wine tasting on the way back, probably back to Orcutt about 4:00-4:30. The drive will include: - Smooth 3 mile straight, low traffic, section of highway between Orcutt and Harris Grade. - We will take Harris Grade over to Lompoc. Fun road for Minis. - The road from Hwy 1 to Jalama Beach is a 14 mile twisty road. - Will take Santa Rosa Rd back to Buellton. Nice country road. - Optional extrusion from Buellton to Orcutt, instead of US 101, is to take Foxen Canyon Rd. - Wine tasting? Park entry fee should be $8.
