Here's the edit version.

I've put together two different drives for the weekend of the 17th and the 18th of April 2004.

Both mornings the groups will be meeeting at the Washoe House in North Petaluma (off Stoney Point Rd) @ 10:00-10:15 and leaving at 10:30am

The drive will take about 4-6 hours depending on what day you choose to go.
Saturday is a nice drive that will not be too hard to keep up on.

7) Follow until it too comes to an end. There turn (left) onto Hwy 1 (south) (70.3 miles)

8) When the group gets into the town of Jenner we will be stopping for a little break (75.9 miles) there you can fill up on gas and get snacks.

9) Continue (south) on Hwy 1

10) This is were the group will be broken up. first group will be turning onto "Willow Creek Rd" and going for a dirt drive. The rest of the group will continue (south) until they get to "Coleman Valley Rd" where they also turn (left) but i do not have the Mileage Marker for that turn. So i will be driving that route on Sat. the 17th so no one gets lost. them i'll post the marker for the Tarmac crew for Sunday's drive. Because i'll be doing the "Dirt" route.

13) At the three way intersetion, The dirt crew stays (left) and turns onto "Joy Rd" (88.2 miles)

14) At the end of Joy Rd. Turn (right) onto "Bodega Hwy" (93.1 miles)

** i was hoping that here we could stop again and regroup. once in the small town of Bodega

15) Follow the road until it ends and turn (left) onto Hwy 1 (south / east) (94.5 miles)

16) Stay on Hwy 1 until we come to the small town of Valley Ford. There we turn (right) onto Valley Ford Rd. (97.9 miles)

17) Turn (left) onto "Whitaker" right before the bridge (101.4 miles)

Hey, where are all my Subaru friends that said they like doing my drives? I figured i'd have a few more responces by now.

I was thinking about making the Saturday day more of a mellow "drive though the park" kind of thing. While Sunday being the "come on grip, don't fail me now." inspired drive. I'm trying to get my Christina (my wife) to come along on Sat. but the chance of that happening is very slim. And personally i wouldn't want her there on Sun. because she'ld most likely have me sleeping on the coutch that night. (she gets car sick when i go too fast)

how 'bout it
Pete
Miles
Richard
Kevin
Paul
Patrick
Don
Andrew
Andy
Adam
Alan
Ross
John
Noal

and anyone else i may have left out.

Krinkov

iTrader: (21)

bushido

iTrader: (2)

quote from Krinkov:
"what route are we taking to get up to Geysers rd?"
-----------------------------------------------

I think i'm just doing the same one as last time. Up old redwood hwy. then cut over to Alexander valley on Chalk Hill Rd. Then Red Wine Rd, Turn Right onto Geyers and loop back to 101.

Nothing too exciting. Just a day to stretch my legs.

Jeremy if you have some ideas to add let me know. I'll let you lead if you want then. Im completely open minded.

I should be able to make it. I'll just meet up with y'all on Dry Creek road somewhere.

I need to really test out these Azenis.

Xero

Xero's car = Usually filthy MBP 02 WRX with Bronze Rota Subzeros and snowboard rack even when there ain't no snow!

(Note: I am NOT the a$$hole people occassionaly post about up on Skyline in the middle of the night. That's some other guy )

Darkstar

Rich: you know I want to come on this run again! Its just too much fun to pass up.

I would like to do it April 17th, but if no one, or very few want to do the run on the 17th I can try to make some changes so I can come on the 18th.

But I think I need to get a new map of the area. Where Lake Sonoma should be it just says UNDER CONSTRUCTION, its a little old.
