Yeah, its coming... I know its hard to work full time, and have your own "Non-Z" life, and plan an entire drive route, complete with stops for pictures/rest (that can accomodate 25+ cars) and keep the drive INTERESTING, and CHALLENGING. I worked with Bill a little bit on this, going over maps and such, but he has done test runs on the route, and again this weekend, so he can map out milage, and spots to stop, landmarks and such.

This way, when we are are all in a caravan ... we won't get lost, or seperated by traffic, and lose anyone along the way!

Thanks for all the effort Bill!

 

Not meant to be disrespectful, it was more like cool, someone has read my post!

 

haha, yeah, I know that sometimes it seems like posts and threads sit in limbo here! 'sall good... hope we have a nice turn out for this meet!

 

NorCal350: As your initiation into the Upper NorCal group I hereby nominate you as the organizer and planner of the future Berryessa drive/BBQ meet

 

so, when is this? and I will give it a shot for sure

 

I was only kidding. Actually the current thought is to arrange a big one down in the South Bay somewhere as that's where the majority of people live. It's all tentative at this point.

 

I as out at Stinson Beach in January and had a Park Ranger turn around and follow me since I was speeding a little bit. He lost interest as I slowed down and then he turned around again to follow some one else who was exceeding the speed limit. This was on Hwy 1 from Stinson to Olema, then on Sir Francis Drake there was a Marin Cty sheriff sitting on the side of the rd just after Samuel P Taylor St park with his radar gun ready. So be careful out there.

 

Hi All,

Here are the details for the Bodega Bay Drive. The route has been planned and I will be handing out directions on the day of the meet. This will be a leisurely drive not a speed one. Many of the roads are narrow and all are 2 lane. These roads are also enjoyed by bicyclists and tourists so adherence to speed limits is the norm. YouÃÍl actually be able to appreciate the beautiful views & scenery then too.

The drive will begin at 11am on Saturday, April 9th. It would be nice if we could actually start on time which means arriving early for instructions and some group pictures.

** We will be using the Trip Computer/Odometer feature. If any of the newbies here haven't learned how to use this function yet check your Ops. Manual pages 2-8 & 9 . The directions I'll hand out will have mileage to each turn-off point. This is being done so that when the group gets split up, and it will, you won't get lost....hopefully. Bring radio(s) if you have them, set to channel 3.0

Bring snacks and drinks as there are no places along the route to stop that can handle a large group of cars until we get to Bodega Bay. There we will stop for lunch at The Tides Wharf & Restaurant. They have a snack bar to buy food stuff.

It's imperative for those coming from south of the Bay that you gas up before you cross over. Once we get started gas stations are rare and not accessible for groups. There will only be ONE restroom stop between the start point and Bodega so plan accordingly.

MAIN MEET LOCATION
100 Shoreline Hwy.
Mill Valley, CA 94941

Note: This is an office building on the EAST side of Hwy. 101. Both Mapquest and Yahoo show it as being on the West side which is wrong.

Directions:
From the East Bay: Take the 580 to San Rafael then go south on 101. Take the Hwy 1/Stinson Beach exit. Bear right and stay in the right hand lane until you come to a traffic light (Shoreline Hwy/Hwy1). Turn right, go under the highway, and the office building will be on your left.

From SF: Take the GG stay on 101 north. Take the Hwy1/Stinson Beach exit. The office building will be on the right side along the exit road.

Dave (whatever) will be coordinating the south/east bay meet locations.

Also the phone contact person on the morning of the meet will be Dan (neur0sis). Cell# 707-486-2656
