    Is there still the thought for using an alternate route other than Hwy 49 through Bagby Canyon, after we leave Mariposa? I've got one in mind, but it may add a bit of travel time. Not too sure though as we would be traveling at faster speeds....

    There are two options for the train ride. I need to get the majority vote here.

    3:00 - 3:45 - Steam Locomotive (standard trip 40 minuets) $13 adults and $6 for youth, or for the First Class observation car it is $21 for adults and $9 for youth.

    OR

    4:30-6:00 - Railtown 1897 SHP - Wildflower Train - Ticket Prices $21 for adults and $10 for youth. This is a specialty train ride where we will learn about the wildflowers and it is 75 Minutes. They only do this two weekends a year.

    As to the roads. By then all roads should be clear (cross your fingers). I don't know if we would change going the 49 route. We all really love the twisties and I really don't want to loose those. What is the other routs that you guys want to take. I will look into them!

    Count Kiki in; may be bringing "The Dad". Bitzie will still be "serving her country" by preparing those last minute tax returns. :sad:

    Hey Guys, this is my home turf. There are a number of places in downtown Sonora to eat. There is the Diamondback which makes gourmet burgers, there is Outlaws BBQ, Alfredos Mexican, etc etc. You may have to split up depending on the size of your group. Its fun to walk around the downtown area also. Columbia is cool but not too many food choices. Jamestown has a number of restaurants also including Kamms chinese, Willow steakhouse, National Hotel..... Lots of choices, might cruise down and say Hi since you guys are coming into my hood....

    Hi. I have a brother that lives up in Angles Camp, his wife recommended "The Peppery". Her friend owns the Diamondback, but parking downtown my be a problem? She said we can park at the bowling ally? Both my brothers have lived up in the area for years :Thumbsup: My other brother ended up in Groveland though. You a golfer? My brother runs the golf shop at Greenhorn Creek. Hope to see you.

    Hey all,
    I called a few places. I have two choices so if I could get your opinion that would be great.

    Peppery
    room for us
    good parking
    can not separate check but can take separate payment (the can take multiple credit cards on the same bill)

    Standard Pour
    Room for us
    looks to be good parking
    will do separate checks
    we have to spend at least 300.00 to have the room
    as of right now per person would be 18.00.

    with both locations have their downfalls but both seam to be not that bad in price. The diamondback is too small for our group the same people own the standard pour. so if you guys could let me know what one we would rather deal with, we will go with majority. I think the peppery would be good. but cash would be best from everyone. I can split the bill per party if need be.

    thanks to all
    tina
