We will miss you. I am going to charge up my camera for some pics but my photography may not be the best.

The weather seems to be cooperating. If it is anything close to today, it will be perfect.

Which is the route you guy are taking?

Hwy 84 West to just past La Honda

Printable directions and some instructions

Okay guys,
Click on the link below to get the directions for the drive tomorrow. I'll bring a few copies to distribute.
A few disclaimers and some instructions:

1) This is not a race. There is no winner or loser. Please do not make unsafe passes.
2) The roads in this route are mostly narrow un-divided highways. Please be careful and respective of traffic laws and other drivers.
3) There are bikers, motorcyclists, and others on these routes. Please be careful and respect them.
4) There are blind corners and twisties all over. If you don't have visibility as to what is on the other side of a corner, slow down to a safe speed.
5) In this time of the year, there are wet patches of the road everywhere. You can easily lose traction. Being safe is better than sorry.
6) Most of us have cars with very high limits of manuverability. However, most of us don't have the skill levels to try them out. Stay within your driving abilities and again follow and obey the applicabale traffic laws.
7) We all want to have fun, enjoy our cars, enjoy each other's company, and go back safe and sound to our families, with our cars in the same shape! Again be careful.
8) I merely organized this event. All of you in the end are responsible for your actions. Use your good judgement. Some of you may remember Luis last year and the sad accident and his passing away. We absolutely don't want anything like that to happen again.
9) Make sure you have enough fuel for the trip.
10) Bring a bottle of water with you!
11) Bring cameras and videocams to record. We will stop in a few places for photo shoots.

The grid will form at 10:15am, we will leave SR around 10:30am. I hope to see you all there.

BE SAFE!

I ended up just eating at Alice's with a few friends, then we went on our own drive. Saw you guys turn onto 84 down to Woodside though, looked like a good group!
