We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

East bay hills somewhere? Mt. Diablo? or back to Sacramento?

Anywhere but the bay area please


You drive through heavy traffic, toll stations, and confusing freeway systems just to get to a place that is cold.

I'd like to try again but it depends on where the meet is. If its a vote then I say Marin or Sonoma county.

Actually I was thinking to stray away from Marin or the Peninsula since that is where the spring and summer meets were and I'd like to be fair to all everyone. My vote would be East Bay, Sac or anything else...

8. lofat 79 300D, West Sonoma County, CA

Depending exactly on the where and when, I would love to do it again.

And I vote to do the drive in Jim B's Country, Nice area around Nevada City would be neat with a bunch of Classic MB's there. Also the Willows restaurant is a cool place to eat after or during or??

How's that for nominating Jim B for the committee??
