Darn.. I can't delete this, so ignore it. Double post

 

Hah hah... Again, I only took it out cause of its abnoxious size

Hehe.. old man or not.. keep your grapes to yourself wine country dude..

 

Well, there will be two (2) old guys on that run. Grapes might be raisins by now. I think mine are still grapes though, don't know about zwindsor

 

Ya gotta love this guy LOL This protective humor...

 

"...Buncha savages in this town!"



Well Static... you might be agitating the masses here... I don't think anyone has met or seen Anna yet... so I hope she can live up to all the hype!

*laughs* Just playin Anna...

~Dan (Who will have a cute female co-pilot that day, so no worries Static...hahah)

 

Hah hah.. glad I'm contributing some Funny around here..

neur0sis - LoL... well, better agitated masses than masses thinking I'm out of the picture! This ain't no dead man walkin here!

 

Jesus... what is going on here.

And believe me.. it's ALL hype.. nothing to see here.. move along.

 

I think I like when Bill organizes these meet/drives...

 

OK, this has been fun now lets get back on track...this is a thread about driving not grapes....and fowl I'm younger so they ain't no raisins

I took a modified drive Saturday. This one worked out to 3 hrs straight drive time and 115 miles. So with a lunch, a little gambling and a couple of breaks....maybe 5-6 hrs total.

The only problem I see is parking at River Rock. I was there at 10:30am and the lot was almost full except for Valet. I talked to him about letting US park there (hinted a nice tip) but who knows about the actual day. If spending some time at a casino during lunch is something everybody is in to then it might be best to take the back way up to Middleton (one of Krinkov's suggestions) and eat/play at Twin Pines or Konocti then hit 175 for more fun.

Can I get a concensus on the gambling. Does everyone want to do it? Also we should all meet up at 9am that morning (site to be determined).

 

Gambling would be fun, but not if its gonna be a hassle to park. We could always work in Another casino, but I don't see it as a prerequisite. Its too bad River Rock doesn't have their new 7 story parking garage yet.

Twin pines, while it may be fun to drive to out on 29 ... is a pretty lame casino. Its a giant outdoor tent! ...

Either way, I'm game for anything...

What was this "modified" route you took, Bill?

 

Calistoga, St. Helena, Silverado Tr., 128E, Chiles/Pope, Howell Mt, Silverado Tr., 128N, Sonoma Lake, Dry Creek, Wohler (end). Make sense?

If we don't hit a casino I'm at a loss for a lunch stop along any route.

 

I'm up for anything at this point. Gamble not gamble any route etc.

 

I'm not particular, going to a casino would be fun but if not, no big deal. All I care is that I'm not at the end of the caravan.. I tend to get lost easily

 

im up for gambling, but i might be stuck there for hours if we do LOL, dang i think this might be too much driving for me though, napa is already like 2 1/2 hours away from me. all this talk about raisins and grapes makes me feel like im barely a grape yet. LOL and yes all this hype about anna.... its worth it peter my friend has done very well.

 

To be honest with you I don't think this is the drive for you. We'd like to have you along but you might be better off waiting for a Bay area drive. Most likely we'll end up in Hopland which is close to 2 hrs north of Napa. We're actually starting in Santa Rosa with a quicky through north Napa county.

 

your right its not the drive for me LOL i remember going to Anna's place to install a sway on her celi, i was like where the hell am i I have never been this far north before LOL

 

I put 400+ miles on my Z for the Mystery Spot drive. I think the SoBay guys owe me one.

Which reminds me EVERYONE FILL UP BEFORE the drive. We had people running out of gas on that one.

 

wish I can join, but I'm one of the vegas guys.... We will be there in spirit!!! Take lots of pics!!

 

I get around 500mls. for Hungster --- susan & I have a guest room & if you need we can save you the last 90ish mls. that is if the new grand child doesn't have plans for me!!!!!!!!
