NorCal TW Hollister Day Trip: April 22nd 2012

I'll be on this route too. Coming from Novato.

 

Okay I started a few caravan threads so we all don't have to search this long thread for who is meeting where.

You guys go ahead and arrange whatever.

 

Did we pick a CB channel? The convoy will be easier if we had one already set up

Also - do you guys want to to staright to the park? Or stop by the Safeway in Hollister to get last minute things and fill up? It might be a good location to meet for some of the folks comin from the Santa Cruz area since once you're in the park, cell reception gets shotty

 

either works. Let me know what CB channel I'll put in the OP.

 

probablly meet at safeway. I got confused on how to get to the park my first time going.

 

x2

Yeah so Alex, update the OP to say that the convoys will meet at the Hollister Safeway at 10 AM

591 Tres Pinos Road
Hollister, CA 95023

We've used CB/HAM channel 30 in the past. FRS handheld folks can communicate with channel 30 and 0 security code.

Also, it's $5 at the HH gate.

 

I can meet at the Safeway. If I'm running late for some reason I'm sure it won't be hard to find the giant group of Tacomas. Plus the line to pay will be quite long, so I may get there a little early and pay before it gets crazy.

 

It's go's fast in line we has 28 trucks and we were done in 15min. also did you see the slider thread how would you like to have your sliders installed before the run

 

Sliders before the run??? I was not expecting that. I will have to check to see if I have the time. So pumped right now. Any idea when they will be ready? How long to get them welded on?

 

By mid week next week for sure.

 

Ok I'll look into it, but hopefully. That would be sweet.

 

Hey MJ, are you done using the camcorder? Maybe I can meet up with you at HH's and get it from you?

 

Yea I'll bring it. Thanks again

 

Did you get it converted?

 

Ahhh won't be able to make this one, im gonna be at a mudrun that day

 

TIMES CHANGE

Heres the Contra Costa people's plan, If others want to plan into it and jump on the caravan.

For the contra costa people:
Meeting at WC bart (200 Ygnacio Valley). We will be leaving at 7:00 (meet at bart early) to head to Union City.
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl
takes about 40 minutes to drive, so we will be arriving at WalMart (30600 Dyer St.) around ~7:40.

The entire East bat meet spot is at WalMart (30600 Dyer St.) so people should plan to meet there BEFORE 8:00 <----- thats when we will leave to go to the Hollister Safeway (591 Tres Pinos Rd.)
http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl
Drive is aprox. ~1 hour 30 mins. We will get to safeway close to 9:30 to get last minute supplies and food and caravan to the Hollister entrance.

If other caravans want to meet along the way the Highways of use are going to be I-880S and US-101S. In the past these caravans have been able to aproximate the arival of the east bay caravan at certain on ramps of the highway and jump on and join the main caravan. (having phone numbers to contact and keep track of the other groups helps to give a heads up on how close they are to get a rolling start)

Important address'
Walnut creek Bart:200 Ygnacio Valley Road, Walnut Creek, CA
Union City WalMart: 30600 Dyer Street Union City, CA 94587
Hollister Safeway: 591 Tres Pinos Rd, Hollister, CA 95023
