Sigh, I guess I'm sticking around here for my own drive. The rest of you guys have fun and be safe!
Nice! definitely agree with a lot of what you've mentioned. I think lake Berryessa would be a pretty nice venue since it's a nice "mid-point" for the bay area and central valley/Sacramento folks. I've done this drive (mostly 128 and 121) quite a few times when heading to the bay area, very nice black top and really smooth moderate speed turns. Knoxville definitely gets rough and even turns into a narrow, almost single lane road as you get further north. I prefer heading a little bit north on Knoxville, then west on Pope Canyon and south down Chiles Pope Valley and meeting back on 128, making a little tiny loop/detour. I wouldn't mind organizing a little drive around that area some time, I know a few folks have expressed interest. |

Nice, I last drove that road about 10 years ago and been meaning to go back ever since I got the BRZ. One of these days... And yeah the rough part you spoke of, it was rough 10 years ago too. The route feels like a rally stage. I broke a suspension part on my old car (MR2) out there. But the drive and the views were amazing. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Might be a silly/dumb question, but I had to refuel at the gas station at Alice's on 35/84. I normally use Chevron or Shell.
Is the gas there lower quality? I put about $10 or 2.5 gallons.

A small group of us met up for breakfast at Alice's and to drive Highway 84 to the coast and back up on Pescadero Creek Rd. The roads were beautiful as always but there was a bit of traffic from bicyclists and oblivious motorists. A red Ford Focus slowed us down for 15 minutes, oblivious to the queue built up behind him/her.
Anyway, here are some photos I snapped on our rest stop. Full album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/580365...57679748464813
