Here's last year's NorCal Caravan route — https://goo.gl/maps/YjRCEFC76Do
Last year we met up at a Chevron in Hollister at 11:30am for a spirited drive down the amazing Airline Highway to meet the SLO locals at Pier 46 Seafood around 1:30pm. This put us down in SLO in plenty of time for @Teby S's Happy Hour.
I may join you all again this year, but weather-permitting, I'd like to try a 2-day route this year, with a layover in Monterey.
