The 20th works for me guys! Might be nice to use the 27th as a back up date incase its pouring rain... which is no big deal, but it certainly makes for a less pleasant drive esp for those coming from a distance.
I think meeting at the Marin County Civic Center will work fine. There is a larger parking lot there for us to meet at and its right off of highway 101. Id say a good time to meet might be 9:30am or so? Leaves enough time to wrap up before dark. Im open to the time so chime in guys! Here are directions to the Civic Center for those unfamiliar with the area: http://www.co.marin.ca.us/depts/is/main/CivicCenterDirections.cfm As for the drive, here is my proposal from a previous post: Leg 1. Depart from Marin County Civic Center Head West on N. San Pedro Rd. (crossing over 101) L. on Los Ranchitos Rd./Lincoln Ave. Right on 4th Street (downtown San Rafael) which turns into Sir Francis Drake blvd. Right on Nicasio Valley Road. Left on Point Reyes st. Road/D Street Left on Highway 1, head south through the town of Pt. Reyes Station. Right onto Sir Francis Drake blvd. heading northwest through the town of Inverness out to the Point Reyes Natl. Seashore. Lets go to the lighthouse! http://www.goldengatejeeptours.com/i...ouse_sun_3.jpg Leg 2. Return on Sir Francis Drake blv. to highway 1. Right onto highway 1 headed south. Right onto Olema Bolinas Road Olema Bolinas road takes us straight into the heart of Bolinas, and to the doorstep of the Coast Cafe. Leg 3. Return on Olema Bolinas Road to highway 1. Right onto highway 1. Highway 1 leads us through Stinson Beach, up and over the coastal range back to highway 101. Take 101 south towards the Golden Gate Bridge/G.G. National recreation area... perhaps for photo ops etc... theres a spot under the n. side of the bridge with views of the city etc... The Coast Cafe in Bolinas is about as nice and cozy as u can get on any coastal day... super casual and chill, fireplace, light foods to rich delicious Steaks, beer, coffee etc.. all reasonably priced. www.bolinascafe.com I can print out maps of the route for each car in the group in case we get split up for some reason or another and to ease curious minds of where we exactly are while en route. SAC AREA GUYS! We should caravan to the Civic Center, yes?

Sounds perfect, now we just need the weather to be nice that weekend, if not there will always be the next saturday.
I am officially excited and that is with all the holidays as well. Too bad I won't have the CE but the 4 speed is a blast to drive on the twisties.

The 20th I belive at the Marin County Civic Center. Time is not yet set, but I vote for 10 am. The 27th will be the backup date in case of rain. I might be bringing the turbo.

From the sac meet it seems like everyone got there around 12-1pm. I was one of the first to be there at 11:50ish.

I arrived at the Sacramento site at 11am and thought I'd gone to the wrong place -- no other M-B's! After hanging around a bit, I went off to look at a for-sale car (no thanks!). When I returned at 1pm it was to a crowd of Benzes. A great first meet for me.

I had thought the same thing! I was thinking to myself, ahh crap i drove all this way to go to the wrong place! I called my mom, dad, best friend to ask the location and none of them were by a computer! damn. Luckily carnut came by with his 300CD and i asked him if he was here for the gtg and then i was releaved that i was in the right place

10AM sounds great.
For the drive I think it might be better to meet up earlier than the last meet in Sac simply because it will be a longer meet.
If we gather at 10am, and get en route by 10:30 at the latest we should be perfect on timing. That gives us time to get out to the Point Reyes lighthouse, stop in Bolinas for lunch, and wrap up for group pictures at the end of the route before it gets too dark.

Nate,
You're the man. All we have to do is be on time. You say 10:00, I'll do my best to be there by 10:00.

Leaving from Sac
I'm going to try and make it. Does anybody have a time and place to leave from Sac? I would think we would need to leave by 8am. Towe Museum would seem to be a convenient place.

Towe Museum sounds good to me. Meeting at 8 sounds good also.
