Doheny Wood 2008

Doheny 2008 was a GREAT show. Friday night, nearly 100 Woodie Fanatics came out for our traditional welcome to Doheny Wood. This year the food was provided by Baja Fish Tacos. What a feast! We all had a great time as tall tales were told around the campfire. Tom MacDonald showed off the original art work for the Doheny Poster and the beautiful Mickey Munoz surf board. The original art work was auctioned on Friday night.

Saturday morning arrived early and cars began streaming into Doheny State Park. By noon over 180 Woodies had arrived, and the parking lot was jammed with woodie owners and locals checking out the cars, the raffle prizes, and of course, more food. Early on the sky was overcast, but the SUN was shining by 11AM! At 3PM, we wrapped up the car show, and several woodies left for home. Many club members and guests stayed around for a concert held at the host hotel. The featured band was the Eliminators. On Sunday morning, we gathered at the Woody Hut for a cruise around the harbor and neighboring Capo Beach. Once again, thanks to all the hard work of the many club volunteers, Doheny Wood turned out to be a terrific event.
