Apple Pie Run May 14, 2022
It was a beautiful Spring morning and a great time for a drive in the country. 17 of us met up in Alpine and headed out Old Hwy 80 for a tour over the mountains and on to apple orchard country. Three antique autos were along on the trip: Doug and Marilyn Clements were driving their beautiful black 1956 Chevrolet, Art and Phyllis Cottee were in their green 1965 Mustang convertible and the Richards were in the lead with a red 1962 Thunderbird with the top down. Tom McIlravy drove a follow-up car and manned a walkie talkie to keep the group of 10 cars all together.
It was great to get up into the pine forests and mountain meadows on the Sunrise Highway. After passing through the little town of Mount Laguna we stopped for a scenic view to the Anza Borrego desert far below. From there we continued on through Julian and out Farmers Road to Wynola, stopping for a delicious lunch at Heroes Wood-fired Pizza. Next we drove up the road a little bit to Mom’s Pies for dessert. Apple pie ala mode seemed to be the group favorite. Afterwards the group dispersed to go home in their separate ways off the mountain.
A good time was had by all. There was plenty of time to socialize, swap stories and catch up. Traffic on the road was light and no one reported mechanical difficulties. We’re looking forward to more tours in the future, there are a lot of fun destinations in San Diego County to visit.

Since the begining there has been something about the sight, sound, and feel of the automobile that stirs the imagination and the desire to experience the freedom of the open road. Whether it’s the clatter of the single cylinder brass era car or the heavy thumping of big block Detroit musclecars that fuels the addiction, we’ve all got a common interest. Classic and vintage cars, trucks, buses, and motorcycles are what this car club is about.
We’re glad you found our group. Stay and “nose” around our website. We have something for everyone. You don’t have to own a vehicle or know how to turn a wrench. You can be involved at any level you wish. Whether it’s joining our social events, going on driving tours with our group or just being a part of the San Diego car club scene, the possibilities are endless.
So, spend time with us and others sharing your automotive interests. Join up, it costs less than the price of a tank of gas and lasts all year. And check out our San Diego Regions AACA to find our why we think it is the foremost car club in the area. It’s about the cars, people and getting out behind the wheel. We know you’re going to love the ride.
