I would definitely want to if it was in the summer or something. But in Sept/Oct I have to work and I have school full time... :(

It will end in SD, and most will be there for just one night before flying out of LAX.

PM me a regular e-mail address, and I'll let everyone know you'd like to hook up.

Hmmm...I'll be in La Jolla on September 30 for a family function. Not sure if I'll have a chance to get away or not. Please email me more details, Jim. Thanks.

Yes. I'm in charge of providing the Navigation packages. They will travel north on Hwy-1 from Santa Monica, staying the night at San Simeon. Then up Hwy-1 to San Francisco for a couple days. Departing from Fort Point, up Hwy-101 across the Golden Gate to Hwy-37, and east to I-80. A dash across the valley to Sacramento, and Hwy-16. Over to the Plymouth area for some wine tasting. Then south on Hwy-49 to Hwy-120 (and up the new Priest Grade) to Yosemite, stopping briefly at Rainbow Pool. Sleeping at Yosemite, then back on Hwy-120 East to US-395 south, through Death Valley, Pahrump NV, onto Las Vegas for a couple days. Over to the Grand Canyon, then to Lake Havasu City for a night, then to San Diego.

Not really from all over the world. The UK, Eire, and the US.

I wish I could go. The schedule sounds great. Unfortunately, I have to be out east for business for nearly a month.

I'll be there, and I'm from Australia, so that's another country.
