<x-charset iso-8859-1>A little bit of central California travel advice.
>From Sacramento East to Reno.
Assuming you get gas in Sacramento, you won't need to
gas up again until Reno. If anyone does need a bit more
once on the road. Auburn has cheap price gas. Exit off
of Foresthill road, just past the three exits to central
Auburn. Lots of stations in the area, along with plenty
of food joints. Nothing much from Auburn to Reno. A few
places, but don't count on it. Colfax is one though.
The real advice concerns I80 from Auburn east. There is a
long steady uphill from Baxter up the hill. It's not real
steep, but it is relentless in it's grade. If anyone starts
to get hot, pull over and cool down. At the very top of the
pass is a large rest area. Very nice to be in the cool
mountains after the heat of the valley. A good place to
regroup after the grade. The grade will probably serve to
separate the group depending on each vehicle's power curve.
Another area to re-group is just before the rest area.
Boreal Ridge ski area has a large parking lot that should
be accessible. They do some bicycling/hiking in the area
so there is plenty of room to re-group before heading
downhill to Reno and the heat again.
Once plans for time get settled, let me know, as I would
like to at least come out and wave at the swarm! My
vacation schedule won't permit attendance, as well as
the sorry state of my T3.

No inputs yet ? No one lives here or has ever
been to these places ? All I need is suggestions,
commitments are not needed. Part 2 is a little long,
just need gas directions for these places so no on

If you are going to stop in San Juan Cap, I would suggest
right off the Ortega Hwy Exit, off to the left (from the
Northbound exit) there is a gas station and a bunch of fast
food places, and there are gas stations off the the right as
well. Any of these will work.

It is right off the 91 near the intersection of the 91/
5 freeways. There is are restaurants/coffee shops/and
gas stations all over that area. It is very convenient.
Avoid getting off at LA because of giant traffic jams

I would suggest that a good place in Santa Clarita to meet and have a
pit
stop would be at Magic Mountain Parkway and the 5 freeway. There is a
large
Chevron Station there with food and restrooms. Within a quarter mile,
there
are 5 fast food restaurants and several regular restaurants if any one
needs
hot food. There are also 3 more gas stations too. Get off at Magic
Mountain
Parkway and turn left at the bottom of the ramp. This will have you go
under
the 5 freeway and headed toward Magic Mountain. You will see the Chevron
Station at the next traffic light. Be in the left turn lane to get to
it.
