I'm wondering if NorcalMINI members are considering a caravan from the Bay Area to the Las Vegas meet on Feb 6-8. A few of us have signed up already. Phil, any thoughts on this?

 

Oh well, I figure I drive too slowly. I guess I'll take a couple of days to get to Vegas

 

I'd be interested.. Depending on my workload.. :smile: On a side note, is there a way to get NAM to notify me of new messages? I find that it doesn't, or it isn't in a clear place for me to check. On that, Does NorcalMinis have it's own internal webboard? I think that would be a good addition!

If you go to the Regional southwest forum you'll find the thread Vacation in Las Vegas (or something like that) and a link to more info on signups. There's quite a number of cars in the Bay area that are participating and I feel that some could meet up at East Bay MINI (Pleasanton) and link up with SouthBay people at Santa Nella (junction of I-5 and Hwy 152) where there is a truck stop and restaurant.

I have calculated mileages and figure Bakersfield would be a convenient place for a lunch stop (and also to pick up the Central Valley MINI drivers).

Here is my suggested assembly area and schedule:

Thurs. Feb 5: Assemble at East Bay MINI or Wal-Mart parking lot, Pleasanton at 8:00 AM
Thurs. Feb 5: Meet up with South Bay riders at Santa Nella, 9:15AM
Thurs. Feb 5: Lunch at Bakersfield 12:00 noon
Thurs. Feb 5: Arrive Las Vegas 5:00 PM

Give or take 1/2 to 1 hour for stoppages and laggards (like myself).

I'm in SoCal and probably going, too. Your schedule looks great. You might consider coordinating with dbwildo, who is organizing a caravan of SCMM members, and who is a moderator on the SoCal forum here, too.

BTW, I've always loved the word "laggard." Kudos.

Clo, don't pay ANY attention to my sig line. I'm really a laggard. Just compensating.

IF we get our new MINI in time, we'd love to caravan with you guys on Thursday, as per the schedule. :smile:

A large contingent of MINI's will be heading out from SoCal on Friday, February 6th. We will be rolling through Barstow between 12-3. Depending on the size of the group. What time will the NorCal group hit Barstow? Perhaps we could wait up?

 

Pleasanton....thats my neck of the woods...i wish i can join you guys, but gotta work that weekend....have fun....

Beg with your boss, trade with a co-worker on days off. This is a rare opportunity to make this big Meet.

Doug: I guess we'll miss the SCMM riders since our group leaves on Thursday (we've got a longer distance to travel). See you guys in Vegas anyway.

The program has finally jelled. And what a program!!!!

 

Sorry on the late notice! Everyone, please bring along some GMSR/FRS style two-way radios. Most of our communications will be on channel 7 sub 21.
