I am driving from Medford leaving on Thurs. morning (30th) not sure if driving teener yet, but one car or another I am going.

I'm planning on heading down from PDX, not sure of my timeline yet. May be stopping in Santa Clarita "on the way"... so caravan might not work for me.

I am not a lock at this point but I hope to be making the drive down. Let's bump this every week or so until it's here. More people will chime in as it get's closer for sure.

I think I plan to just leave early thursday morning. Like a 4am type thing. Considered possibly running down to Medford wednesday night. Then leaving from there. I am open to whatever but I'd like to be in San Simeon by 4 or so. I do plan to tow down my car. Not sure if it will be a flat tow or on a trailer at this point. Still working on that.

From Corvallis looks like just under 12 hours to San Simeon

Stockton. Like we did in 05'. You have to clear Portland before 6:30 or the 205 sucks until 9. But you have to leave Martha lake before 4am or wait until the north end commute dies down. The first 200 miles are a pain due to juggling traffic times. You driving the LE?

my tentative plan!

3 day drive down:

leave seattle tuesday am->Tuesday Night (4/28) - Grants pass, or (425 miles)

Next day (Wednesday 4/29) from Grants Pass to eureka, ca ->Leggett->Fort Bragg->SF (470 miles)

Next day (Thursday 4/30) from SF to carmel->san simeon event (210 miles)

2 day drive back:

sunday am to night – san simeon to yreka, CA (500 miles) (or further north)

monday am from yreka to seattle (500 miles) (hopefully back for www.jambase.com/Articles/124584/Grateful-Dead-Meet-Up-At-The-Movies-2015-Announcement)

I am still leaning towards a early thursday leave. I will be flat towing my car down (90% sure of that). Still need to get the suspension on but my front strut inserts are due to arrive today.

I'm still semi up to leaving wednesday night & getting to Medford. Not really worth a hotel room to me. So unless I'm splitting a room with someone. I'll just leave early thursday morning

Maybe we can caravan together on Thursday.

I plan on leaving the Bay Area early afternoon, driving down to Salinas on 880/101, then cut over to the coast onto 1 near Marina.

Bump for a caravan. Seems like there are a few of us that may cross paths. Still not sure if I am leaving early thursday or late wednesday night. Here is my cell 5four1 5one0 00eight6
