Norcal Caravan

Anyone interested in a Norcal caravan to Morro Bay from Napa/Bay Area?

Dale

Dale,

We will be passing through the bay area from Idaho, with a short stop in SF on the way down or the way back, then down 101 or Highway 1. We have a room in Morrow Bay for the 22nd. Other than that things are still undecided.

Tomm Aldrige, from Washington, mentioned comming down I-5 with a stop to pick up his wife flying into one of the bay area air ports.

If not; see you there.

Several of us (including 3 Spyders) will be meeting in South San Jose, CA about 10am on Friday - 4/23 email me rjiloty at gmail.com for location.....and .....I'll post it when we get closer to the date...RickJ

Yes Dale, launch with us from South San Jose.

I'll be coming down from Santa Rosa area, maybe with another Vintage of your vintage in formation.
Anyone else on the 101 corridor north of SF want to tag along to So. San Jose collecting point?

Mark,
If you get down as far as Cambria in time you can join us for lunch at about 1:00-1:30 at ROBIN'S RESTAURANT.

(Yes, this is a change in location. I will make an official posting about it early next week)

I hope to see you there.

Happy Trails,
Dusty and LMS

Happy to meet in SJ and then on down to Morro Bay. I would think that 101 south or jump over to HWY 1 at Monteray depending on weather.

Let me know location and time but 10am sounds about right to meet in SJ.

When time gets closer we can trade cell #'s

Dale

Vada and I will be departing from the Santa Clara Marriott the morning of the 23rd. Meeting in South San Jose sounds good... Just tell me where.

Tomm

Dale -- You got it, 101 to 152 to the coast and South has been the drill past couple of years. Lunch at Big Sur.

Dusty, I don't think we will be even close to making Cambria by lunch. But watch your rear view mirrors on your drive back to Morro!

Tomm, stay tuned for directions to the collection point. If you haven't done Hwy 1 from Monterey to Morro, you are in for a treat.

"...Hwy 1 from Monterey to Morro you are in for a treat"

What Mark said x2!!

current plan for meeting/spot
Starbucks
5651 Silver Creek Valley Rd.
San Jose, CA 95138
.
meet 10:00am
depart 10:30am
.
Friday 4/23
.
from there, it's 180 miles down 101 - a bit longer
along hwy 1 - we'll likely not make it for
the Robin's luncheon....thanks for thinking of
us Norcallers, Dusty, though....we look forward
to catching up with you Friday afternoon.....

directions to this Starbucks from the North (it's ~14 miles South on 101 from Mountain View):
# * 3. US-101 South / Bayshore Fwy toward San Jose
* (14.3 mi)

#

* 4.
* Take ramp right and follow signs for Yerba Buena Rd
* (1.1 mi)

#

* 5.
* Turn left onto Yerba Buena Rd
* (1.7 mi)

#

* 6.
* Turn right onto Silver Creek Valley Rd
* (0.7 mi)
.
You'll see a shopping center (Canyon Creek Plaza) to the right - turn right into shopping center and find the Starbucks

Have you guys taken Hwy 25 yet? If not from 101 just south of Gilroy cut over to Hollister on Hwy 25. Tres Pinos just south of Hollister on Hwy 25 is a good lunch spot and then there is NOTHING but twisties for about 75 miles......;-) Once you get to Hwy 198 on Hwy 25 turn right onto Peach Tree road south (turns into Indian Valley road) and it will come out just north of the Paso Robles near Mission San Miguel or you can continue south to Pasa Robles on North River road.

If you have never done it it is "the road less travled" and one you should not miss.

Make sure you fill up with fuel in Holister for those that have small tanks!

I will be heading down Hwy 680 to Hwy 101 in San Jose, So. on the 101 for a few miles to the meeting location. My cell # is 707 319-4949.

Dale

Dusty- the boss and I hope to get to cambria about 12 to 12:30. lunch maybe? Bob

Dale, keep an eye in the rear view for Ricky99GSX. He's no doubt chasing the same route from Travis, in a 550.

4 days and counting. Have done 2 trips to the Napa wine country in the past month. I hear it is best to train for these things!

Hey Guys!

I'm not a Speedster owner...YET, but I'd like to meet up and head down with y'all. That is, if you don't mind an 08 997 TT taging along?
Wasn't clear if you're jumping over to Hwy 1 or not, hope so cause it's awesome.

Scott Daley.

Scott, join in wherever you can, as you can see, Morro Bay is the destination...Blue Sail Inn..

Hey guys me and my Wife will be leaving Travis AFB at around 8:15 or so (maybe a bit later). So Scott and Dale if you guys want to meet somewhere and head down 680 to the San Jose meeting spot we can adjust our departure accordingly :)

Ricardo - I'm in, just let me know where & when. My cell# 530-908-5600. I'll be on a plane today, but available tomorrow.

see you all Friday morning - Likely we'll take the same path as in the past - "101 to 152 to the coast (Hwy 1) and South has been the drill past couple of years. Lunch at Big Sur."
.....won't make it in time to lunch with the group in Cambria
.
RickJ

Ricardo, My wife and I can meet you at Lake Herman Rd. in Benicia just off HWY 680. It is one of the last exits before the Benicia/Martinez Bridge. As you take the exit look to the right and there is an overlook parking lot, we will be there at 8:40am. (easy on and off for 680 south) It is about 20 minutes from Fairfield.

I had a wonderful drive from Olympia to Grants Pass today with a stop in Portland to show off my car to some co-workers and then, later, a side trip towards Crater Lake. Got over 30MPG on the trip and cruised at 70 to 80 all the way. On to San Jose to meet my wife who is flying in tomorrow AM. We will see you all at the South San Jose meeting place Friday at 10:00 AM for the cruise into Morro!

Tomm

Dale, sounds like a plan. We'll meet you there and Scott if you'd like we can meet at the same spot with Dale to make it simple what do you think?
