I'm a tad low and don't want my front lip coming off somewhere along the trip down
It's pretty much all freeway so it isn't bad, however there is some construction in the grapevine that involves lane changes. There's a section where the fast lane (southbound) will turn into a single by-pass lane that can get a little bumpy. There are also single by-pass lanes going northbound as well.

Gonna have to say not in the cards for me this year. Between work and a family deal I'm just not sure I'll be able to go.

If things change ya'll be the first to hear.

I'm guessing whoever leads the caravan (if there is one) will be aware of this?

we'll probably also do a morning caravan to roll into the event together, although hotels are spread out.


but what we really should do is a friday night dinner get together as a group

suggestions for dinner:
popeye's chicken http://goo.gl/maps/UVj9Q
BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse https://plus.google.com/104387731675...ut?gl=us&hl=en

I'm assuming that's a Friday departure for Jody's caravan, I don't see a date to be certain though.
