If you are headed to the Western States Cobra Bash in Sparks Nevada May 17-20th in 2007, and looking to possibly meet up or caravan with others from your region or City, feel free to post your information here. Many people met up this way the first two years coming to WSCB and even got some GREAT group photos along the way (some of the best). We received a few requests to create this thread once again.

Example Information to post:
-Your Name / Handle?

-Departure location, date/day, time of day?
-Driving or Trailering your car?
-Description of your car for others to recognize you/car?

Many in BACC departed from Walnut Creek on Thursday morning of the Bash weekend in 2006. As I see many of those same folks signed up for 2007, I would expect a repeat performance.

Gio - John P. trailered up in 2006 - as such, I am sure John or others will join you in trailering in 2007. It is always nice to have chase vehicles along.

Details will no doubt reveal themselves as we get closer. My memory is that we left around 10 AM which got us to Reno in plenty of time, even after lunch in Auburn.

Reminder -

Thursday is CASUAL early arrivals, NO HURRY, so be sure to make your groups stops, take group photos, get breakfast/lunch along the way, stop at more than one gas station just to make extra noise and draw crowds, smell the coffee and the roses... and savor all the small moments along the way.
As I know it now, many people reflect back on the Bash each year and its common to hear people mention the group caravans and the fun of just getting there together!

There are a lot of Starbucks and gas stations between San Francisco and Reno .... Caravans? should be Cobravans. Looking forward to BACC members posting on time and place.

I just got my room reservations at the Nugget. I'm hoping to have my car broke in by then. I'm leaving on Friday morning from Wilton or Sacramento.

Stuart and I will be leaving the Phoenix, Arizona area on Wednesday morning headed for Las Vegas or California. We haven't made up our minds yet. Looking for others to join us or we'll join them along the route. Oh yes, we will be driving and are considering another trip into Death Valley on the way to Reno. John

Jim,
That is a GREAT drive. I hope a few others take you up on it to experience it as well. Take some pictures as you come up through the valley. Should be cool.

I posted this on the FFR Forum but I'll post it here for the non-FFR crowd:

In May we'll be heading to the COCOA event at Willow Springs and then head up to Sacramento area before continuing on to Reno/Sparks for the WSCB.

We'll be getting into the Sacramento area sometime Monday afternoon/evening. The plan is to cruise (in the Cobra) into the Napa area on Tuesday and then up arround the Nevada City area on Wednesday.

We'll be towing the Cobra in a Serpent Express behind a 25' motorhome.

We're looking for some recomendations for a good trailer park to stay in Monday - Wednesday nights and a list of the "must see" things in the areas mentioned above.

We're also open to other's who'd like to join my wife and I. We did this last year and had a blast with Chuck and Penny Robertson as we went thru Yosemite National Park with a night at Zepher Cove on the way to last years WSCB.

We're open to recomendations so bring them on!

Please reply on the FFR Forum or PM/email me. FFR Link: http://www.ffcobra.com/ubb/ultimateb.../t/013003.html

I have one spot left in my enclosed trailer if anyone from the Phoenix or Las Vegas areas that want to trailer their car to the Western States Cobra Bash!!!

decooney · #19 (**permalink**) 03-13-2007, 11:45 PM

Hey James,

On the WSCB website, I update the attendee list every 20-30 days, and there are more than a few coming from Oregon this year, including folks from: Jacksonville, West Lin, Medford, Wilsonville, Salem, Oregon City, Corvalis, Tualatin, Beaver Creek, Portland, Sherwood, and even more above you coming from Washington/Idaho/Canada...

I see a nice little caravan opportunity here if you guys can connect somehow. I bet if Brad Berger and those guys chime in, you can get something going here. Nice!
