SF Bay area caravan to WCR, all can join!, Route ready see post 1. Map update 5-12-10 10pm Options

[Mike Bellis]

Anyone in the SF Bay interested in a caravan to WCR? Meet up with the Sacramento crowd and haul ass to Tahoe.

Who's in?

Leave Thursday morning 9am from Southland mall, Hayward, CA. Hwy 880 West Winton exit in front of Sears (corner of Southland Dr. & La Playa Dr.) Drive to Antioch for a brief stop at McDonalds (Hwy 160/4 @ Main St.) we will pick some more guys here. We should be in Antioch at 9:40am. Anyone from the valley can meet up with us at Hwy 160/12 intersection near Rio Vista. From there we take the 160 delta Highway to Sacramento. I-5 North to 50 East. We exit at Hazel/Nimbus Rd. North around 11:15am. We will meet up with the Sac crew at Chevron there and re fuel. From there we cut over to Hwy 88 and drive the twisties to Stateline Nevada and our destination.

This link will take you to google maps and the route. Anyone is welcome to join at any part of the route. If you have GMRS walkie talkies bring them. The caravan channel will be 9-14. The times are approximate. This will be a fun drive and not a balls out race to get there first. There are 2-3 small delta towns we have to travel through slowly and a few on Hwy 88. No body wants a ticket, right?

The "official" stopping points are: A, B, F, G. Anyone can jump in at any time during the route.
A= Starting point, Southland Mall, Hayward CA, it front of Sears.
B= Antioch McDonalds, Main St exit from Hwy 160/4.
F= Hazel exit from Hwy 50. Meet at Chevron on the North side.
G= Jackson Hwy 88. Parking lot right side just before our left turn to Tahoe.
Map below has been updated for these stops.

It really isn't all that scenic until you get to the Rancho Murrietta area anyway... The only thing scenic about the Home Depot area is Showgirls and the strippers are probably not headliners on Thursday around noon anyway!
