Date: May 08th, 2004
Time: 08:30 - 09:00 hrs Pacific time (here after assumed in Pacific time zone)
Location: Westlake Promenade theaters
We would plan on leaving around 9:05 hrs which will give us time enough to make it on time at the Rosebowl at 10:30 hrs
Unless otherwise noted, I am planning on being there
Cheers!

Yes, there are 2 different caravans. One from the West side and one from the East side.
Im going to split this thread into two threads. One for the West and one for the East.

So Cal gathering May 08th, 2004 (Route)
I was going to suggest for the west caravan to route 23 North, 118 East, 210 East then we avoid all the nightmare traffic of the 101 freeway that no matter what day and what time is always congested... any suggestions for the west caravan route to the Rosebowl? (I am posting this on the posting for the west east as well)
Thanks

As for a time for departure, I think 9:05 seems early for the drive should not take 1.5 hrs. W could almost be to Palm Springs with any luck in 1.5 hrs ! Well maybe not THAT far... but I make my point.
If the group goes 23 N I will have to either skip the drive or Drive to Westlake in order to go back to Rosebowl.
Keep me posted please.

Agreed....We should tough it out on the Ventura Fwy. I drive the 23 up to the 118 to the 210 all the time, and it will be a faster drive overall, but it is much longer so you'll end up there at the same time, and remember that 23 is a speed trap extraordinaire....lots of smokies giving out green stamps, good buddy

ok,
Let's plan on meeting around 9.00 in Westlake and leaving for the event ~9.15
I am going to have to say that I would prefer driving down the 101 because it is more direct and, barring Caltrans or accidents, it should be faster and more enjoyable than changing freeways every 15 minutes. The 101 is like a woman, very unpredictable, you can drive it at 5pm with little traffic sometimes, other times its a mess at 2am.
Keista is right about the speed traps, especially considering we would be traveling at around 90mph just to make up the time lost by driving laterally for ~20 min through Moorpark. I say averaging ~60mph on the 101 is better than risking a ticket. imho
That being said, I'm off to Zaino the S-Class for the meet!
