Hey Frank...which route you gonna take? You gonna go down the 57 to the 5? If so, we should try to coordinate so we can meet you on the 5 somewhere before heading down to irvine. If you going a different route that is cool too.

to meet at 12 Noon - 12:15 (see thumb-tack):


Caravan will be leaving at 12:45 sharp, so make sure you're there early with plenty of gas & food !

that's the fastest route from where I am. 57 merges onto 5 right after the ball park, so not sure where we can meet in between.

btw, which street do i get off from the 5 to get to spectrum? forgot, haven't been there in a long time.

Well I mean we can try to coordinate something where we can meet once you get on the 5. Like meet somewhere off the Jamboree exit in one of the parking lots for the shopping center. (possibly) or we can meet anywhere else on the 5 freeway before hitting the Spectrum.

I believe the exit is Alton Pkwy.

For some reason I can't think of anywhere after the 57 on the 5 except the Jamboree exit off the 5. But that is way down the 5.

What do you think about meeting at the Anaheim hooters parking lot? That could be a possibility. We could then get back onto the 57 to the 5 and be on our way. Can you suggest any "major" locations where we can meet on the 5 after the 57?

Hey Frank,
If we are thinking about meeting up with other caravans, we might want to spare a little more time for traveling down to the spectrum so we don't miss the other caravan groups.
