Talking OK..if the May 1st caravan was a shorter drive?

The drive we had planned for 5/1/04 does seem a little long.....maybe we could get more to plan on going if we shortened it? Just make it a simple loop, about 3-4 hr, with a BBQ stop for lunch somewhere?

How about just running 25 south to Los Gatos Rd, out to 198 (the road that links 5 to 101 thru Coalinga), then run 198 back up over the hills to 25 and take 25 north back to the south Bay. That way we could leave a little later and get back A LOT earlier.

Forget the run all the way down to Cambria and hwy 1.

If more seem interested, my buddy Finn and I will go find a cool place we can all stop for lunch and BBQ and take pictures.

:banana:

Calling 25 a "highway" is misleading. Very remote and little traveled. Los Gatos Rd is one lane like Mines.

On the way home?
Go over Hecker Pass Rd (152 west) to 1 up to Santa Cruz and get on 9?

I'm still interested in a drive in that area, but I've agreed to work a rally now on May 1st ... http://www.carzero.freeservers.com Click on "EVENTS" to get info on the May 1st rally.

Hey, if you change the date (again!) maybe some of you would be interested in doing this rally instead ... ?!

So tell me about the ITN deal. Can anyone run? I'd rather do that too!

OK so we need to find a good date AGAIN.
