**PNW caravan to Bimmerfest 2012 @ Pasadena, CA**

I am in Portland, so I wont be passing you... sorry.

[James Crivellone]

So are you guys (people coming from the Seattle area) leaving from the 272nd park and ride in Federal Way at 6:00 PM on Wednesday? Just wondering if the different Forums are having different meeting points and departure times...

I have a room booked in Gilroy already but as of lately my wife and I are still deciding on going. Drove 300 miles the other day and was kind worn out from that, and that is only like 1/3 of the distance just for the drive down.

As i'm south I may sync up with you guys as you pass Tacoma and catch up

[HellzMindPlaya]

Bump... All the way down on the bottom of the second page!

I think we have decided we are going after all. So anyone got an answer for my previous question? Just want to know if there are several groups leaving from the Seattle area (one for each forum) or if you are all going to meet up and cruise down as a nice big group.

Lastly... off of I-5 (aka THE 5) there is a good meet-up spot at the In-n-Out in Kettlemen City. Maybe we can rendezvous there somehow with some of the northern folk. I feel like I am gonna be rollin' with E30 celebrities! :P

[clavinZERO]

James, see you and Parker on Thursday!

Maybe we can find one of the other caravans and mob down with them Friday morning... doing some research on that. Please chime in if there is any info on when/where this PNW crew is meeting/stopping along the way guys!

Seriously thinking about it. Long ass drive though.

Im coming out of Kenmore, it won't be to bad of a drive down there!

Great guys. Who's the seattle crew? Im just twenty minutes north of Seattle. I too will be cutting off to keep heading for La Crecenta (however you spell it).

[James Crivellone]

Let me know James if thats your plan, be great to run with some other guys at least part of the trip.

Alright current plan is to leave Wednesday night. We can certainly meet up with the Seattle gang and caravan down.

I'll be in the M5 (sorry no E30) but I'm sure you guys won't mind :p We will be driving straight through to Petaluma, so we can split off Pre San Fran to make the cut over.

[HellzMindPlaya]

Yeah... Sounds like the Seattle crew is leaving between 6-8 PM on Wednesday nigh, I am hoping they hit Vancouver/Portland at about 11 PM. I plan on jumping in the group then. So Mac you may want to plan on starting maybe an hour later than that.

For those feeling rich and fancy there are going to be people staying in down town San Francisco... I am not feeling that rich so I am planning on staying in Gilroy, CA. which is where we are supposed to be meeting up with the Bay Area Bimmerz. Should allow me to sleep in a little to since Gilroy is an hour from San Francisco (or so I hear??)

I got a hell of a deal at the Ramada in Gilroy. Because I booked on their website and because I booked 21 days or more early a 2 Queen room came out to $61.03. Their website is Ramada.com if anyone is interested.

Will be nice to see everyone there!

I believe we are leaving Wed night, still confirming that however.

I am going, taking my e36 but not driving down with the caravan. Leaving here Thursday straight to Brea where my sister lives. Only about 30min from there to Pasadena. Coming back Sunday night (I like driving at night, less traffic)
