Can you believe the drive is around the corner =)

For those who have not signed up on the Google docs link yet, a email was sent out with all the maps and details for the drive. If you wish to have this info, please fill out the Google link on the first post.

This is the LAST week for you to order the custom decals to have a souvenir for the drive down. These make for some fun collectables of drives you go on.

I wanted to make a quick post to help everyone. The threads I have started are not for the Bavarian 500. I ran and planned the route for them last year but I am not with that group. This is a different drive but anyone is welcome to tag along with either group.

The drive I have sent to those that have signed up on the Google doc parallels the Bavarian 500 for the first half of the drive down. After lunch the drive I sent out heads off freeway to more scenic roads that have some twists and turns VS highway. This route also will help get past most of the socal traffic (hope is the key word).

There are three of our fellow BMW enthusiasts that are leading the drive I had planned. They will be at the event with the decals numbered 007 - Joey / 12 - Max and Kevin.

Most of you are staying at the Super 8 so you will be one big group. If you are not at the Super 8 and are at the other hotel listed, you effectively made that block of Pasadena BMW row.

Unless something crazy happens for 2015 I will have a fun 3 day weekend for all those who wish to participate next year.

No matter which drive you pick have a safe drive down and be safe.

For all those who have signed up on Google Doc, a email was sent out with the finalized route this caravan will be taking. This is the fun route for the drive down so if you did not get the email please let me know.

For those who are coming from Sacramento I suggest using the following location.

Starbucks
8450 Elk Grove Boulevard
Elk Grove, CA 95758

For those of you coming form other locations to meet up in Holister, I would suggest posting a location on this thread and I can relay it to the other posts I made.

The only other caravan I know of is the one from Casino Matrix. Make sure no matter what you leave there at 8:00am to be able to meet up with the others at the start of the drive.

I might catch you guys for lunch on Friday... I will be headed through SLO right about that time anyhow.

[Vivek]

Bump for anyone interested. And if someone sees this and is willing to help book a hotel room for Steven and I that would be greatly appreciated. You have to be 21 and neither of us are.

[oliver.r]

is there going to be a caravan back?

[m3dragon]

For those who have radio's. I suggest running channel 5.0 as I will bet there will be some at the drive that have radios that can't do sub channels.

[mr.vang]

Will the socal fire effect the event? I would hate to drive 6 hrs and end up being cancel.

[m3dragon]

no it won't
