Drivers!
With all this lousy weather the past couple of weekends what better time than to kick off the driving season! Our first drive will be participating with Pierre Chaama & Co and taking a run up and over the mountains through The Los Padres National Forest along CA 33. Ice and snow there this weekend, so we're pushing the date back a bit, roads should be fine next month. Here's the route:

There are two points to join the drive - First meetup is at the McDonalds in Camarillo - Los Posas exit on the 101 - the McDonalds is just north of the freeway. DEPARTURE time here is 6:30! Second meetup is in Ojai, and the gas station just west/north of the intersection of CA 33 and 150. Departure time there is approx 7AM.
If you've never been on this drive its one of the best in SoCal, beautiful scenery and great driving roads, the altitude gets up around 5-6000 feet. And we're out early before traffic gets too obnoxious. The drive is 100 miles to Frazier Park at Interstate 5, at which point many people jump on the freeway to head south and home, but an equal number turn their vintage BMWs around and head back over the mountains to Ojai again - your choice!
See you all next month!
