SPECIAL NOTE: WE WILL HAVE EXTRA HELP WITH PARKING, BUT WE'VE BEEN SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED TO LIMIT ENGINE NOISE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE (I know, party poopers).

Remember, this is a RAIN OR SHINE event!!! If it comes to it, you’ll be able to park in a covered garage, so your baby won’t get too wet (your wife might be able to stay dry too)

Just thought I'd add some written driving instructions:

Business 80 to N street exit. Stay in left lane, go two blocks to L street. Turn left under the freeway, and immediately turn left again on 29th and take an almost immediate left into the parking lot. Head up to the upper deck, and you will be guided to our reserved spaces. See you there.

I think we have John and Steve committed to attend on the previous thread.

Any other takers?

BTW, John, I still don't have my car. But, I'll be driving directly from the event to the Bay Area with my trailer to pick it up...at long last. You're still welcome to drop by the house on the way, and we can caravan from there.

Ron, what time are you planning on leaving tomorrow?

Igofastr · #17 (**permalink**) 12-15-2017, 06:04 PM

John,

I'll leave a little early, about 7:30. I'll have to find a place to park the truck-trailer combo, and want to setup for pictures.

Do you still want to caravan over?

bunyip · #18 (**permalink**) 12-15-2017, 07:33 PM

Checked the attached Google map to Perkos Roseville on Riverside?
not sure there is one there?

I'll try to make it by your house but if I'm not there when you are ready to go, go ahead and go. Don't wait for me. Also, if you want to leave your truck at perkos and ride with me to the hospital I can take you back to perkos after to get your truck.
