Anyone going to be there?

Luckily for me, my wife has a conference in LA that same weekend.  We will be there for Friday and Saturday.

Hiya Brad,

Explain please.  Just what (and where) is a KGPR Treffen?  

And you may surmise from this question that this event is not on my social calender

Hiya Brad,

Whups! 

As a matter of fact I do know about this cross-country cruise.  Since it starts off here in Portland, I did scan the info about it some time ago.  Just didn't put the name to the event.

Thank 'ew!

Hiya Air,

I've driven that route a few times.  Just unbelievable scenery.  Gorgeous!  Fantastic.  This is one drive everybody in a sports oriented kinda car needs to do.

Just south out of San Francisco there is a warning sign that reads..........Warning Curves Next 76 Miles.

The sign isn't kidding.  You will get all the curves you will ever need on that stretch of road.  It really helps not to try to drive it all in one burst.  Stop often and enjoy the scenery.
