Got the first "Heads up" from the main "Disorganizer" of the NFIBMT, Ed Pasini. If you plan, It's time to start planning......
------------------ Forwarded Message Follows ------------------
We are less that six months away from the 9th Annual NFIBMT. It is not too early to make your hotel reservations. The disorganizers will be staying at the Best Western Black Oak Motor Lodge in Paso Robles CA on April 12th and 13th 2007. Toll free 800 780 7234 Direct 805 238 4740.
This is a NO FRILLS event no rooms have been blocked out at the hotel and no arrangements have been made for any special rates. Like everything in the NO FRILLS you are on your own.

UPDATE!

In a recent e-mail I incorrectly indicated the starting date for the 9th annual NFIBMT. the correct date is APRIL 12, 2007.
This year we will be going back to basics. That means NO ALL HANDS MEAL. Finding a restaurant, guaranteeing a minimum number of attendees, fronting the deposit, choosing the menu, collecting the money, and listening to the inevitable complaints flies in the face of our motto NON CRANIUS INVERTUS RECTUMUS. We will be in Paso Robles for the nights of April 12 and 13. Start you research now, find a restaurant, get your group together, make your dinner reservations and have your own party. That's what the NFIBMT has always been all about. Do your own thing.
9th Annual No Frills Iron Bottom Motoring Tour

Overnight stops? Paso Robles on April 12h & 13th at Black Oak Motor Lodge 805 238 4740. Disorganizers have made no advance arrangements
What do I get? Three days of fun and fellowship with other car crazy people who love their old cars. No T Shirts, No Dash Plaques, No Grill Badges. All drivers who complete two very simple tasks are paid.
How do I sign up? You don’t. Just be at the Rose Bowl at 7:00am on Thursday, April 12, 2007. Get a copy of the route instructions and go.

9th Annual No Frills Iron Bottom Motoring Tour NON CRANIUS-INVERTUS-RECTUMUS Why This is a No Frills Event and What you need to Know
One of the disorganizers has driven the entire route, but he has an unreliable metric odometer, so all mileage is estimated. Use a map and your best judgement.
The California map provided by the Automobile Club of Southern California, includes most of the roads on this tour (some roads are not well marked). Even the guy who lays out the route gets lost. If you have a GPS BRING IT
Start with a full fuel tank. Gas is available at several locations but there are some long stretches without gas. Keep your tank topped off.
You will need your drivers license, car registration and proof of current insurance to gain access to Ft. Hunter Liggett
Carry a cell phone. If you break down you are on your own. Other participants may stop and offer help, because they are fellow gear heads. However, you are ultimately responsible for your own vehicle.
