I really want to do this drive but trying to plan it out around my Vac and Sick leave. Almost rather save up for 7Stock.

That is something I took into account as well. I can only afford to go to one of them and would rather go to Vegas. There is a drive, casinos and just more hanging out with people. Plus I went to Jr High and High School there and have lots of friends and some family. Not sure I will have time to see any of them though. Not to mention there will be a lot of bad *** 8s to check out!

That is surprising. But there is always something going on in the Bay Area but still...

In terms of when we leave to head to Cali... IF we caravan down together to meet up with the SoCalers... We need to be in Barstow (unless that changes) by 8am on Friday morning, the 18th. From what I remember, when I googled the route, I think it said 12-13hrs from my area (Renton, WA). I'm sure that doesn't include time to eat/gas up, etc.

I am definitely up for this. I need to check the schedule though. I think June may be open. Looks like a 2 day Journey. Take off Thursday morning and get as far as possible, then show up Vegas on Friday, Party, head home Sunday.

So it sounds like I'd need to take a Thursday, Friday, Monday off work.

Let me check with Jen and see if we have anything already scheduled.

This will be the weekend that my BN will be 100% back from Iraq. I don't know if they'd give us a 5 day weekend like last deployment upon their return, but I'll keep up to date on this.

Awesome!

That's pretty much what I was thinking too... BUT... I might head back to San Diego and visit some friends, then go back up the coast over the next week.

Unfortunately I am still not 100% on going to Vegas yet More people keep quitting work (damn outsourcing ) which may keep me in the office. But I have my time scheduled off at work so we will see if they ask me to cancel. I will know for certain in May.

There are lots of places we can meet off of I-5. If it is in the morning then I can pick a Starbucks or something like that in Beaverton, which is 15 miles or so South of Portland.
