I think I can take you on a quick backroad run when we leave the P&R that will
give you a flavor and we end up north of Fairfield. Still arriving in Woodland
by 8:30ish.

Except that we were weakening in favor of that back-roadish excursionesque
notion a bit... What would that require to still arrive at 8:30 rather than
9:00?

Well, the Cordelia Park and Ride is looking to be roughly 11 minutes
from the
Bergman's motel and should thus be doable. Picking up on Ron's idea,
using
the
Vallejo address, I MapQuested both a freeway route (52 minutes from
Vallejo)
and a scenic one via Route 121 (which crunched out at 1:40). So that
would be
an extra 45+ minutes and pretty early meeting time but it is a thought.
(to
make Woodland by 8:30 would entail LEAVING at 6:50...) I just discovered
that
you can drag MapQuest direction maps (also Google ones and Yahoo as well
I
think) to go any roads you want (more or less I suppose). This is a
feature
I've been looking for for years! So yes, let's see what percolates up
from
the
old List...

Norm and all: It would sure be fun to coordinate the caravan coming in
to the show. Let's continue the cha..cha..chatter to see if we can all
join up at the Green Valley/Cordelia Park and Ride. As an incentive,
there is a small Starbucks in the shopping center (next to a Bank of
America at the south end of the CostCo parking lot) but let's pick up
the java and be sipping while we wait for stragglers from the
hinterlands.
We can certainly cruise at 60ish. The freeway through Fairfield is still
very rough and under some construction. For the trip home, temps are
predicted to be in the 90s on Sunday. Bring extra coolant just in case.
I would now propose meeting at the P&R between 7:00 and 7:30 for a 7:30
launch down the road. That would put us in Woodland around 8:30.

Greg et al.,
Don't know if it would be relevant to anyone else, but I'm taking the
XK140
and meeting up with my friends Pete and Nancy Bergman in their XK120 at
their
motel in Vallejo (The Quality Inn Napa Gateway-Vallejo) at 7:15, thence
perhaps to a Starbucks for fortifications. If this fits anyone's route
we'd be
happy to have more company. We're shooting for maybe an 8:30 arrival.

I see from the chatter there are a couple of groups of folks getting
together to caravan to the Woodland car show; one in Rohnert Park and
another in Cordelia, the two possibly combining at that point.
Are there any folks from Santa Rosa or north who are going to the show
and would like to caravan in a group from here? Thinking of taking the
Elan, but with no OD, my freeway speeds are rather slow (55-65) to keep
from going nuts with engine noise and sucking down the fuel. I know the
overdrive cars and long-legged machines like the Jags are going to want
a bit higher pace, so anyone with a desire to caravan at a 4-speed pace?
Cheers,
Greg Tatarian
