Anyways, there doesn't seem like too many people are interested in So-Cal, so I'm just going to focus on the NorCal meet/drive.

Ok, looks like we're pretty close on split for nice lunch or nice dinner. So I'm going to make the decision for a nice dinner.
This decision is primary base on our time table. So it's gonna be fast food lunch (In&Out) somewhere on US-101 or CA-1

The total trip is ~171.9 miles one way.
We will have meeting points right off 101 (Near Coyote Creek) to get everyone together. I'm sure there will also be a SF meet point as well as the usually Fremont meet point for the East bay folks.

We will drive until we get to the end of 101, somewhere on 156, or somewhere on CA -1. I will look up some fast food joints. Hopefully they will be near each other so we can split up to make lunch faster.

After that, we will drive down to Hearst Castle. Do the tour. Stop by mating Seals & otters (for bz8) and then head back to Monterey/Carmel for dinner. If anyone have any suggestion for Monterey/Carmel dinner, post here. If I don't hear any suggestions, I'll just post 3 that I find and we'll just pick one from that.

That's basically the walk through for the day. I'm now gonna do some calculation of the time table and find the specific meet points and post a more detail schedule. PM or post here if anyone have any suggestions/ideas!!

No worries Rie, you still have a few more weeks before Hearst castle!! I'm sure you'll find a job before that!!

Ok, I'm finalizing the Itinenary with help from KarmaMag
Just a few question for you all.
I'm sure most of the eatery at Monterey/Carmel/Big Sur are not too price friendly. So what is everyone's preference on Dinner?

Option 1: I would like to pick a restaurant that the majority will be satisfy with (stomach & pocketbookwise) and can seat a large group
Option 2: we can split the group up into two groups for dinner considering that we will have a fairly large group overall. Thus providing additional selection for 2 different restaurants & faster service.

Anyways, please keep sending suggestions for dinner, I'll be narrowing the restaurant list down to 2 soon. From that point, I'll need to bring up the attendant list again and would need a final count sometime next week (Friday 04/02/04 - 2 weeks prior to the event) to make reservations for dinner.

Nice meeting some of you guys at RATB2 yesterday. This Hearst Castle meet looks even better. Please bring your 2 way radios if you got one.

Bruce, if you want, maybe we can meet up in San Jose and drive to Morgan Hill. Just a thought.

If we could solidfy the itinerary for dinner, I could confirm my attendance... planning to find a hotel near the city where we eat to spend the night... Big Sur, Monterey, or Carmel.

ok, I'll try to narrow down the dinner plan today. Seems like everyone is interested in eating together like one big family so we'll have to find a place that can seat ~20ish people. Keep your eyes peel for this thread, I'll have the dinner plan set by tonight
