Sunday, October 26, 2003

6AM – 9AM Breakfast at your choosing. The hotel provides breakfast, or Mel’s comes highly recommended.
9:15 AM Depart for Murphys. Drive Pt 3. For those who don’t wish to eat and would like to hold off until we get to Murphys, they have quite a few nice places to dine.
10:30 AM Arrival in Murphys for a lunch, site seeing and wine tasting in downtown. I am making this an early day for those who wish to head home so not to deal with the returning Bay Area traffic on Sunday’s.
12 noon Depart for Drive Pt 4 and Photo Op for those who are still left with the group.
1 PM That concludes the Babblers Fall Frolic, drive safely!! I will provide maps with directions for two alternate roads for heading home that are quite fun.

I will provide detailed itineraries for all attendees and co-pilots with maps and directions when we all meet up in Lathrop at the Chevron station.

We have a few participants who are meeting us along the way in various stops, so bare in mind that we could make an additional stop for late joining folks. And of course, the above iten does have the possibility of change, but I don’t think it will vary overly much. Ensure that you have your FRS radios tuned to channel 9.8 If you haven’t one, let me know, I have two extra’s I can lend out. The days are arranged so that you can do one day, both days or start on Sunday if you so wish. If there is anyone who wishes to do Sunday only, shoot me an email or ring me and I will arrange to get you some directions/maps to join us.

Looking forward to seeing you all this weekend!!
