20TH (Practice) ESCAPE TOUR to TAOS
 
Description: Tour leader, David Berardinelli, will lead us on a scenic drive to Taos, via "The High Road". David would like to have as many cars as possible so that he can test out the logistics of leading a large group of cars on this trial run of his Escape tour. If anyone has a set of walkie-talkie's for the leader and sweeper cars, please contact David. Also, if anyone has a GPS to bring on this test drive, that would be helpful. David plans to have us arrive in Taos and the Monte Segrado Resort no later than 12:30 to 1pm, depending on traffic and the number of cars in the group. Then, depending on the length of lunch and whether we decide to visit the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, we plan to get back to Santa Fe and the NM 599 exit to Albuquerque around 4:30pm.

David will make lunch reservations for the Monte Segrado Resort so he would like for people to RSVP to him before July 17th.
