Sorry guys, I won't be able to make it. I just found out that I'm going to have to fly out to Maryland tomorrow in place of my co-worker, and won't be back late Saturday or Sunday. If I make it back on Saturday, I'll try to catch you guys on one of the routes.

Same question as Henry...

Are there some details on where exactly the meet starts at, and what time?

Raining now, but weather predictions are still saying Mostly Sunny on Saturday.

From what I remember it starts at the Academy of Sciences in GGP around 11:00. I hope the weather holds up. If it rains like it did today traffic is going to suck.

Okay, here's a recap of the itinerary for those who asked. I don't have the numbers from last year so I don't remember what times we actually made. Anyway, here's the play for this year:

1. GGP 11am; leave at 11:15am

2. 101 NB->112->129 (I still can't remember the exact number, but it's the one that leads off to the east in Sonoma)

3. Arrive in Carneros around 12:30-1pm. Good place for lunch. I'll try to scrounge up some place names for us. No highway 26 detour this time, unless folks want to go all the way up to Calistoga on 101 and just head back on 26. Alternatively, we can meet up in Vallejo; IIRC there's a Popeye's off 31.

4. We should be able to make Mt. Diablo by 3pm.

5. Which means we'll hit D&B by 5pm at the latest.

6. Dinner at Mango Cafe or Miyake in Palo Alto around 6:30pm at the latest (that's assuming we take a break at D&B). We could also do dinner at D&B instead.

7. Highway 84 eastbound to SKyline Blvd into the City.

8. Wrap up at GGP.
And I believe we did vote for Miyake.

Ah, I found last year's scheduled itinerary. Those who went know we didn't quite make it, but anyway, here's what it was supposed to be:

10-10:30am
Golden Gate Park meet-up (try to at least meet up even if you can't make the rest of the trip)

GGB->101N->116E->121E

11:30-1pm
Napa meet-up. We should be in the Carneros region now, between Sonoma and Napa. There should be many wineries we could stop off at along 121, before it changes to 29. We're going to have lunch here. Location to be decided on the spot.

12E->680S->Ygnacio Valley Rd->Clayton->Mt. Diablo

2:30->3:15pm
Mt. Diablo meet-up and photoshoot.

Mt. Diablo->D&B

4->4:45pm
D&B meet-up. Catch some drinks, maybe some games.

880N->237W->101N->UniversityW->Cowper (L)->Hamilton (R)

5:15-7pm
Dinner. Mango Cafe. 435 Hamilton Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94034.

101N->380W->280N->19th->GGP.
So, what's our show of hands again? This is what I have so far (corrected for bz8's Maryland visit):

1. longbowe (meet coordinator)
2. yobri
3. Z33RIE (weather on Hwy 5 permitting)
4. Sybertron
5. LouZer
6. fowlman01
7. KarmaMag (Dinner)
8. Jsn350Z ( If car is finished )
9. corsair
10. 350ed

Z33RIE cannot make it either.
Best to verify meeting at Academy of Sciences in GGP since it's a big park

Nertz. Okay, so we're down to 8 cars. It's all good, it'll still be fun. And yes, we'll be meeting at Academy of Sciences in GGP.

Hey Fowlman; know any polytheoradicalisticanarcho-syndacalists?

Everybody; I still might make it. I'm throwing a party for my 18YO daughter tonight. It'l be over around midnight (or when the cops shut it down). Anyway, one of my engineers wants to go for a ride in the Z tomarrow so we may head over from Modesto. Car will be dirty, that's for sure. No time today to wash it. Anyway, I may stick my beak in. We'll see.

Yes, I do. do you need their phone numbers?



Seems like you may know about the IWW, it is pretty obscure. Didn't think anyone would know what I was talking about.

I'm still down.

Academy of Sciences in GGP @ 11
Is there a specific lot or anything? Haven't driven there before, so hope it's not a confusing area.
(any quick ways to get there? 280N to 19th ave.?)
