Presidents Day Drive Anyone?
O.K., so far we have twelve people who want to do this:
Me
omygata
bemani
Random Axe
i-Rivers
Egan
newyorkreload (maybe)
code3conely
lowball (maybe)
sonicsuby
sybir (mebbe)
From the sounds of it, and from the fact that I've never done it before, the Mosquito Ridge route sounds like the best idea. We will have experienced drivers in the group, and maybe we can get a little further than the last Donner party that attempted it. We will MEET AT 7:00AM AT THE 76 GAS STATION on the corner of Folsom-Auburn Rd. and Greenback Lane, just across the street from the new bridge in Folsom. For those of you trying to get there from 80, take Madison Ave. South all the way down past Negro Bar State Park and the station will be on your left, and those on 50 take the Folsom Blvd. exit and go left if your coming East on 50 and the station will be on your left as you cross the bridge.
The route for the day will be: Meeting place -> salmon falls rd. -> hwy 49 -> old foresthill rd -> foresthill rd -> mosquito ridge rd (Thanks to Matt)
THIS WILL NOT BE A RACE UP THE MOUNTAIN! PLEASE BE CAREFUL! DRIFTO AT YOUR OWN EXPENSE!
Thanks,
Cohn

Personally, I'd rather do Mosquito Ridge or Wentworth. But I'm up to drive anything with curves (no fat chick jokes, please).
