Bummer, I would have liked to join you David but had other stuff come up.
Fellow DRIVE junkies, would like your input. For the April 27 big meet JR has asked me to plan the route for the cruise. Obviously Mines Rd is the main part but not sure how far we should go. Assuming we get similar turnout or more than the last Nov meet we are talking a train of 35+ cars. So the usual stopping points like the Junction and Lick Observatory may not accommodate so many cars. Any thoughts or ideas?
My thoughts about the options are:
1) full route up Mt Hamilton and down to SJ (about 70 miles)
2) stop at Junction or observatory and go back down same way back towards Livermore
3) at Junction take Del Puerto out towards 5 (I personally don't care for this road too narrow and dirty/bumpy)
I want to do another recon drive soon but from memory there are not really many good stopping points where we can have a large group photo. Would prefer not to do something obnoxious like block a part of the 2 lane road to line everyone up.
And it might make sense to break up into several smaller groups or squads each with a leader and tail car with radios. But I am open to discussion...
