Anyone else from the Bay area going up? What's the best route - 101 looks like the shortest distance, but possibly a lot slower than I-5?

Last year I went up by 5 and came home by 101. They are both pretty scenic, and they both took what seemed like FOREVER! Once you cross the Oregon border everything is slower anyway. Stinkin' 55 mph speed limit!

Hoping my new Mach 1 will be ready in time. Maybe a baby JART if I get my act in gear. Have an R2 on the bench but I don't think I want to rush the build.

Hey Dudes

I'm pretty sure I'll make it this year, I've got a Weasel Evo flying, a 2m E Sprite, and an unbuilt Baby Jart I might try getting together, hopefully there will be some wind to help the paint dry.
