I'm assuming the Sacramento caravan is taking 680 down? I'd like to join the caravan, I'm in pinole, so what time do you guys think you'll be hitting 680 near concord?

[m3dragon]

you are correct. I will PM you my cell and I can let you know when we are close.

Figured I bump the thread this week.

Hello All,

This is a friendly reminder of the drive this coming Sat.

If you are able to before the drive PLEASE buy / bring a 2 way radio. If you want, go in on half with someone, which makes the purchase only 20 bucks, or so each. I recommend Motorola.

Some of us SF/Peninsula are caravanning from Starbucks on Brannan and 4th Street parking lot in SF. Meeting time is at 8:30am. Planning to head over to Livermoore around 8:45ish.

[m3dragon]

Reminder all - drive tomorrow.

Just a heads up, one of the Audi gang was kind enough to help me out with a special treat for all of us. A end photo shoot a place NASA used to own and that has a lot of concrete… Sorry want to keep it a surprise =)

[m3dragon]

Great to see everyone today. I am just posting a few images from the event today. For those who missed the drive you missed an amazing day. We ended the drive with a photo shoot at an old NASA airfield after having CLEAR roads for once.

I will post a link to all the images once people send them to me. Please email me for the FTP instructions to send me the images.

See you at the next drive and keep all 4 wheels rubber side down =)

[m3dragon]

I am posting the images that I have been given. If I get anymore from people I will post them. Here is

a link to ALL the images:
