The 1998 SROC Summer Meeting was held on August 22 and 23 at 'Yamada
Ryokan" Inn of Otari Hot Spring in Nagano Prefecture.
In the afternoon of August 22 we gathered at the first check point near
the Toyoshina Interchange. After briefing for the long driving to Otari
Hot Spring, we started there with a convoy of several roadsters in each
group. On our way climbing mountain to the Yamada Ryokan, we stopped at
the ski jumping hill used for the Nagano Olympic Game last winter. We
arrived at the Inn in the evening.
Relaxing after the exciting run, someone bathed in the hot spring and
others talked on the Roadsters with beer jock in a hand. After the dinner,
the traditional garage sales were held. Popular were the Roadster T-shirts
and stickers which were sent from American enthusiasts with whom I had
become acquainted through the Internet. Endless talking on SP/SR roadsters
continued until late at night.
Getting up late in the morning, we left the Inn with a convoy of
several roadsters in each group to picking blueberry in a farm, to visit
an enthusiast of roadsters in Karuizawa or other pleasures.
