The whole group from the Temecula area, plus some of >our friends, will be parked in our usual spot, namely right in front of the >"H3" parking pole, visible from just about anywhere on the west end of the >parking lot. We'll arrive Friday afternoon, and be there until around noon >on Sunday. > >If you are in the area, and have nothing else useful to do, you might enjoy >looking at other peoples junk as much as we do. There are enough things to >amuse the whole family, although the emphasis is primarily on old car stuff. >There are a lot of 50s and 60s cars there (and some real bargains!), but the >main attraction for me is the really old stuff, from Stanley Steamers and >Model Ts to brass era antiques. > >The stadium is located at the intersection of Interstate 15 and Interstate >8. To enter the swap meet, exit the I-15 one exit north of I-8 (Friars Road >exit), go west about 1/2 block and take the off ramp to the stadium >entrance. Come by for a cuppa coffee if you are in the area. Our camper is >a "Sandpiper" - it will be right up against the H3 pole. Our official space >number is WD44, but the parking poles are much easier to see. > >Dick Benjamin > > > >
