2013 Norcal Sevenstock 16 Caravan

Guys,

That time of the year to start planning and the meet up for the traditional norcal caravan down to SevenStock

As always, meet at the South Bound Westley Rest Stop Area (Exit 445 I5), just outside of Tracy first exit after the 5/580 merge, around 6:30am, leaving by 7am sharp Friday November 8th

All the typical stops on the way, we added a stop in Valencia to make the stop times even (around 1hr travel per stop) and allow those of us who with lots of mods that had to run hard over the grapevine to cool off and whatnot.

Facebook Event is here: https://www.facebook.com/events/5452...ilter=upcoming

Google maps directions are here: http://goo.gl/maps/Nlux0

(starts at meet up at westley rest stop, gustine [rotten robbie], kettleman city, arvin, valencia, then on to the final stop at the hyatt)

Hoping to arrive in Ontario around 2pm (5hour travel plus stops/breaks)

Feel free to PM me or Funkspectrum if you have any questions.

Remember to bring a radio, we will all be on channel 7. Here is a link for a pair of cheap radios that work well for the trip if you need to buy some: Amazon.com: Uniden 16-Mile 22 Channel Battery FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio Pair - Black (GMR1635-2): Car Electronics

Thanks

Zach

Nah, not tuned... just enough to drive it - but much better than running on a base map.

I am, as far as I know everyone else is as well, but there are a bunch of hotels in the direct area that are equally as nice, nicer, and few that might be cheaper. So if you are worried about cost and are staying at a cheaper spot, no worries, you wont be far from the main deal

We should be most of the way there by 11am, but, if you can bump your schedule a bit, the more the merrier

Congrats! If the mazda 6 diesel was out when I was looking at getting a diesel for a daily I would have likely picked one of them up, love how the look interior and exterior

Instead I got the VW TDI (not a VW guy at all, for the record) and have been pleasantly surprised. Love it. Anyway, enjoy! hope to see you there!

Not this year. We will cruise at a reasonable speed that will not attract attention. Any tickets anyone may get will be their own fault, not out of need to keep up with the group

Oh and just so you guys know, my FD is not ready yet and my T2 Vert is still a work in progress. FD wont be done for another month or so, Vert...who knows, lol. With that said, I will try to bring my beater FC, worst case scenario I will have to bring my TDI, but, depending on how the FC runs this week, that will be the deciding factor
