Greg -

Pardon me if others have already covered this stuff; I just poked into 
the LUG and saw some responses to your post.

My wife & I have spent quite a bit of time in Big Sur  (we got married 
on a cliff there in 2000;  my wife is so charmed by my efforts to get 
back there for our anniversary  every year, and the fact that the date 
consistently falls suspiciously close to the Laguna Seca/Concours 
weekend obviously has nothing to do with it...) If you get to the area 
the Lucia Lodge often has reasonable accommodations south of Carmel.  
Ditto Deetjin's, which is also very good for dinner.

Do lunch out on the patio at Nepenthe.  Drive up Nascimiento Rd late in 
the afternoon and bring a pod.  (In fact, we once got caught in the 
middle of a group of vintage Ferraris doing a casual hillclimb up that 
road for many miles  It was pretty great, although the rented Mustang 
convertible was a bit of an embarassment.)

I'll dig around the drives for a snap or two.  By the way, the 90mm 
view tends to be pretty effective around that area...
