Trip around CA

[Amster]

No you're not, you should be hitching a ride with @Amster and I'll but you both coffee

Actually, I'll be free that morning too. Sorry, @hydbob. It's your fault for setting up two meetups a month apart from each other, in LA. I only want to drive up there once this summer. I've been trying to decide which to do for the last few days, since I have to balance it with a family visit as well. But I thinkI will attend the August one, you can put me on the RSVP for that, and skip the July one.

If lunch is around noon or 12:30 I can make that happen

@Pwmac what time are you thinking? The earlier the better for me

 

[HariK]

I suggest 99 instead of I 5 on busy weekends. More ea locations all the way to Bakersfield.

@Pwmac all good for Thursday? Noon at Alice’s?

Hi @AirDoll, ABRP says I should get there right at noon. I'm planning on charging at Novato before heading there and can let you know if that is still going to be accurate while I'm charging there. I'm a little nervous about traffic so not sure how accurate ABRP estimate will be. Does that sound ok?

Works for me! See you around noon

Hi @AirDoll and @borski just got to Novato so shouldn't be a problem to get to Alice's by noon. Looking forward to seeing you.

Sweet. @LucidDropkick and my wife will also be joining. Would bring the dog but it's an inferno out there and he overheats

I got us a table on the Westside of the front patio.

It was a pleasure to meet you and Miles today at Alice's. Hopefully you are enjoying your drive down Highway 1 and the charging in Santa Cruz goes well!!

 

[Pwmac]

Thank you for coming to meet us! It was great to have lunch with everyone!

 

[AirDoll]

So good to see you all today! Safe travels the rest of the way back home.

Did you charge up in Santa Cruz?

 

[Pwmac]

Did you charge up in Santa Cruz?

I did. No wait and went pretty smooth. Driving through Santa Cruz was a different story. Lots of traffic!

 

[SaratogaLefty]

Yeah it is a slow slog all the time.

Great to see it worked out and you had a good turnout! How was the drive down 35? Quite the view, no? I haven't driven it in 19 years but still remember some of those turns.

That area was one of my favorites of the trip. I took the 35 to Alice's but then took the 84 over to the 1 and drove down the coast. I have dashcam of the drive and plan to make a timelapse. I'll post here when I get it together.
