Hy, that would be the perfect title for this year's cd, would you do us the honor again this year?
Well, we didn't plan to do it today but Carol and I ended up planning and mapping out the whole Ghost Cruise today and we think you will be pleasantly surprised. With the help of our newfound friend, Christine Dreifuss, owner of the fabulous "Cutting Horse" Restaurant in San Juan we have a great venue planned. Carol and I, on a whim, cruised over to the lovely town of San Juan Bautista to get information and boy were we lucky. We scouted out the historic buildings and then went to speak with the owner of the "Cutting Horse" just to see if we could get an idea of what to plan and she pulled out all the stops being the most gracious host we have encountered so far. This wonderful lady even went so far as to let us plan and sample what the menu we will be having was for free! She is also on the Chamber of Commerce there and will be helping us with other things like merchant shopping coupons for the goody bags as well as VIP parking on the street for all the cruisers! I cannot begin to tell you how great she was to us. She also told us that they had just tried to contact us for an event the town wanted to have in October. (Hmm, strange coincidence?) Anyway, the actual restaurant is infact haunted by a female ghost and was featured on a Discovery Channel special along with one of our other haunts, the Brookdale Lodge. I cannot begin to tell about the mouth watering fares we were able to sample, cooked up by her award winning chef. The menu, which will be posted later has a wonderful old west flair to it as well as some other choice options. We will be arranging to have a docent style tour of the mission and historic buildings and, of course a visit to the "Boot Hill" cemetery. Christine is also looking into having some of the locals drop in to share some of the local legends and tales. If you love history and ghosts, you won't want to miss this year's Ghost Cruise! As soon as I receive the final info from Christine, I will post the menu, tour fee and other details so we can get a head count for goody bags and parking. Dawn |

Carol and I are going over our list of guests for the Ghost Cruise this year and have 23 confirmed people so far. Could anyone that's planning on going

Dawn, I think I told you guys when I saw you, that I would be going---but I am officially giving you my RSVP....I am not sure if I will ride shotgun with
somebody (whoever will have me) or if I will drive the 'stang. I'll have the ribs!

Okay, here is the menu of the Ghost Cruise Dinner at the fabulous Cutting Horse:
We start off with a special award winning soup chosen for the occasion by the chef: Beer Cheddar Then a salad with Balsamic Italian Dressing Complemented with fresh baked bread w/seasoned oil Entrees are: Jack Daniels marinated skirt steak Abalone style calamari Fetticine Alfredo with or without chicken Pork Ribs Your choice of two sides: corn on the cob coleslaw homemade macaroni and cheese cowboy beans For desert: Creme Brulee Blackberry Bread Pudding The price for everyone is 25.95 and includes ice tea, water and tip. Sodas or bar drinks are extra. The Cutting Horse was gratious to let Carol and I sample everyone of the dishes above free of charge! Everthing we sampled was delicious, so much so that we went back a week later for dinner and it was equally outstanding. With this menu, everyone should find something they like and will enjoy. The best part is they will have menus at each plate and you just have to circle the choices you would like to have for dinner. What a deal! We have 24 people signed up so far so if you would like to join us on this wonderful cruise and receive a special theme designed goody bag and plaque please respond soon for the goody bag/plaque count. Sincerely, Dawn |

We just got word today that a reporter from somewhere around the Pinnacles has asked to join us when we have dinner/investigate the Cutting Horse restaurant.
He is doing a story for Halloween on the Cutting Horse.
Carol and I have ordered a special piece of ghost hunting equipment and the Ghost Cruise will be the first investigation we will be using it at. It's called a K-2 meter. If you have watched "Ghost Hunters" or "Paranormal State" you may have seen it used. It is calibrated to the frequency that ghosts are thought to come in on. It has a row of flashing lights and it is believed that a ghost can pass by it and light the lights up. If you are dealing with an intelligent haunting it is believed that you can communicate with the spirit and they will be able to answer yes or no questions. Sort of like an electronic oujia board. If we are lucky we will be able to pick up on any spirits at the Cutting Horse, including the possibility of "Deanna" the old west madame who fell to death on the staircase inside on her wedding night. This may be the most exciting Ghost Cruise yet! |

Sorry for the lateness of our reply but Tony & Linda will be coming along on the ghost cruise. Looking forward to seeing everyone again. Looks like we
don't need to give our menu choices or $ ahead of time, correct?
|
|||
Ghost Cruz R |
|||
|
That's correct Tony. The restaurant will have our menu at each place setting and all you have to do is circle your choice of entree, sides and dessert.
We're so glad you arecoming!
