-Spring Fling Accommodations-



Hotels in the Buellton and Solvang area are numerous. However, mid-April is a very popular time of the year for this wine country. Please reserve a room as soon as possible. Two rides will begin at Flying Flags RV Resort in Buellton, so any hotels close by will be convenient.



- Spring Fling Parking Area -

 



If you are NOT staying at the Flying Flags RV Resort, please do NOT park inside of the campground. There is event parking outside of the resort at the nearby "Park & Ride Lot" and along The Avenue of the Flags street. As a last resort, park in the nearby neighborhood. 





-Spring Fling Dining Choices-



Basically, the club plans to eat together FOR DINNER at the Feather & Fire Cafe in Flying Flags RV Resort near the fire pit patio ON SATURDAY! Plan to eat on your own on Friday and Sunday. The resort has delicious food from tri-tip to chicken. Breakfast is on your own while lunch involves dining with those during your route.
