I'll move this to the events section after a day or two of exposure.

We kicked around the idea of a drive on Monday since a lot of us (sorry Scott & Aaron) will be off of work. Obviously we cannot hit Mosquito Ridge or WWS due to snow (although we could hit 75-80% of Mosquito Ridge). So maybe one of Alan's suggestions from last time would be better. Let me know what you all think:

We could combine a few *somehow* (I'm too lazy to search out everything right now):

I thought about the Lake Berryessa area too, but it may be a little too busy on the Holiday. Feel free to offer up other suggestions.

Still open at this point, but earlier (7am, 8am) is usually better.

Are you doing the surgery or something? Just give the doc your cell number if he needs anything :p (j/k obviously).

Actually, Egan, I was thinking last night that a drive this weekend would be fun. Great minds think alike :) I'm down for Monday.

i don't work for the federal govt. or even at one of their facilities... our branch of the company doesn't take any of the federal holidays off except for: x-mas, new years day, thanksgiving, 4th of july, and memorial day.

all those other days we work and take a credit on those days to use between x-mas eve and new years, that way we get a week and a half break without using any vacation days.

Yeah, Scott Rd is so ghetto. It probably got flooded during last week's rain too.

Mike, why can't you arrange a normal Sunday drive?!

I thought about Sunday, but the original idea was to accomodate some folks who had Monday off anyway. We'll see if this even happens...

so is there a time set?

Egan

We need a time and a route. Please make some suggestions. The last time I put a drive together, only two people showed up and I was one of them.

Egan

We could also do Mosquito Ridge Road (or most of it). I would of course propose the long way:

Depart Aubrun-Folsom & Greenback
Through Folsom to Salmon Falls Road :)
Salmon Falls to HWY49
Left on HWY49 and down to the river
Right over the bridge to Old Foresthill Road
Follow that to the New Foresthill Road
Take that out to Mosquito Ridge Road :D

That's always a fun route. I just don't want to bump in to any five-o :)

Mike, if you're cool with Mosquito Ridge, so am I, though I'm alright with any of the routes you've got there. Benefit to Mosquito is we can get some fun snow pics :D

You make the call - post which route and what time you wanna meet (I assume at the normal location at Greenback/Folsom?) and post it up. I'm planning on being there. Hopefully I can fall asleep early tonight :D

Scott road is very near my house, and is fun, id come if you guys went on scott road..

Egan
01-16-2005, 06:59 PM
Matt, let's just do Mosquito Ridge. What time is cool for anyone that wants to go?

8AM? Later? Earlier? I'm free all day.

We would meet at Greenback & Auburn-Folsom in the parking lot next to the Unocal.

nachomc
01-16-2005, 07:02 PM
Lets do Mosquito. Meet up at .... dunno. I'm indecisive as hell today. It's like I'm a woman or something. Umm, lets do 7am. That way we can get done a bit earlier in the day and have more time to relax at home since we all have to be back at work on Tuesday :)

nachomc
01-16-2005, 07:05 PM
Last night Russ and Ed said they'd be out. Post up if you're coming out. Schafer, you should come out anyway, man. Mosquito Ridge is a blast. We meet in Folsom and cruise out to Foresthill. Real nice drive.

nachomc
01-16-2005, 07:07 PM
Oh, so one thing we should point out then..

THIS DRIVE IS NOT A RACE. We're just out to cruise and have a good time. Don't try to show off or be cool because none of us care about that. Drive to be safe and we'll meet up at checkpoints along the way.

Yeah, you don't race until you have the drive down sunrise.

But that's hush-hush.

exactly. There's no school zones on Mosquito Ridge. :)

Egan
01-16-2005, 07:43 PM
So 7AM then? Are Russ and Ed coming for sure? Can you let them know?

nachomc
01-16-2005, 07:48 PM
I'll call Ed and ask him to call Russia.

Might be foggy in the early going, guys:

"PATCHY DENSE FOG HAS FORMED EARLY THIS MORNING AND IS LIKELY TO BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD THROUGH SUNRISE THIS MORNING. VISIBILITIES CAN BE EXPECTED TO DROP BELOW ONE QUARTER OF A MILE FROM THE SACRAMENTO AND DELTA AREAS... NORTHWARD INTO THE CENTRAL SACRAMENTO VALLEY TOWARDS MARYSVILLE AND OROVILLE."

Be safe out there.

I don't know what happened. The only missed call I had was from later in the day. I picked it up in Foresthill at the gas station.

Sorry 2.5RS Mike.

Don't worry about it. It was my dumb ass that didn't really read the directions very carefully. Lol, someday I will actually make it to a drive...I hope.
