BTW - If anyone is planning on meeting the caravan somewhere along the freeway, I have a great idea.
I scoped out a spot on the 5 south where someone could park on the street that goes over the freeway.
They could take a video of the huge group of cars driving by, then hop in their car, and join the caravan.
The overpass is Lincoln Ave.
It's not a high traffic area, especially at that hour, plus it has quick access to jump on the freeway at Grand Ave entrance.

Any volunteers? If so, send me a pm.

if your planning on joining the caravan as it passes...you might want to have someone pick up some FRS radios...

i have to coordinate with jedi...but i think we should be on channel 8...

PM AND POST your coordinates so as we close in to your location, we can transmit while still a mile or so away and you guys can saddle up and get ready to roll as we pass...

coordination, coordination, coordination!

yeah but you need people with the same radios and we are cities apart unless you meet up this week. cellphone will be better.

one idea is to wait up on enterprise drive before we enter, or some where farther out is another choice.

Joining the caravans will be very difficult as there's NO WAY for us to pull over anywhere.
If you guys want to be on the side of the freeway somewhere and merge into the caravan, that might work.

I just picked up some Motorola units at REI. Coordination is VITAL for this to work, we'll pick a channel on Saturdya but 8 sounds like a good plan.

+1 w/Jedi

looking at the route that's planned from the I.E. - the only place we'll be able to merge together would be where the 133 and the 5 meet - which is RIGHT next the sevenstock -

if we all leave for our destination at the same time (5:30am) we're more than likely gonna miss each other at that intersection -

Nah.. I'll be there at the meet.

I just thought it would have been cinematic to merge on the freeway, + good photo ops.

we've always taken the 405 route. I guess that was because SevenStock used to be at the R&D facility.


Hmmmm.......


You guys think the 91 to the 5 would be better in the morning?
