Google tells me this is 1,932 miles from home and I can make it in 28 hours. Any tips for spending 28 hours in my seven? :7drive: Are there ideas for how many days may be involved? Trying to get a handle on the amount of time-off I'll need to amass. Just started a new job. ---john.

In the 'memories' category here's my favorite pick from PNW2007. http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/148135996_north_rim.jpg That's Ed Hudson in front of me on the north rim of Crater Lake...

Um, looks spiffy but very hard to read. I don't mind the ads...

My watch loses a couple of minutes a day. The band is intact though...

My watch was on my porch when I got home this evening. Seems to have arrived intact! Thanks again for all the effort getting this done.

Momo with removable mount, I forget the size... http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/633986759_img_0582.jpg

Five Se7ens ( 2 Birkins, 2 Caterhams, 1 Locost) left San Luis Obispo this morning and headed into the hills of Central California. We planned to cross the fault at Parkfield but alas, the diner was closed. So we headed for the coast: http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1023602848_thx_blat_fault.jpg Here are Dion & Sindy, Gert & Rosie, John, Stan, and Scott & John (or at least their cars) taking a break... http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/756807015_thx_blat_group.jpg More great vistas: http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1670201057_thx_blat_road_ahead.jpg http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/757923432_thx_blat_north.jpg California has it's own version of fall colors: http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/695400364_thx_blat_fall_colors.jpg We had a great run on the backroads but Hwy 1 was swamped with tourists so not much joy on the ride down the coast back to SLO.

Four cars from PNW 2007 are on a brief blat in Central California. More pictures tomorrow of twisty roads, good brew, ocean views, etc but today we've had open roads, beautiful (albeit dry and chilly) vistas... http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1694803156_thx_blat.jpg

Add me to the list, 1 Men's please...

I'd be curious to know the details of your current carb setup wrt jets, etc. ---john.

As we were unpacking in the hotel parking lot a group of Shriners showed up and after seeing our cars unpacked three of the Fords powered by two stroke engines. They were racing up and down the parking lot sounding like weedeaters! They offered to race for pink slips but no one took them up on it. They were fast enough to be scary sitting so exposed like that... Not sure where they came from or what they cost (or how many cc's). ---john.

Putting on the miles toward Vacaville: http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1298732007_miles.jpg Another take on follow the leader: http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1768968629_leader.jpg Hey Al, we were thinking of you: http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/927630521_navarro.jpg Sorry for the blur, my reaction time was a bit off... http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/2052804249_nav.bmp

After the dinosaurs we went even further back in time: http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/890025159_big_tree.jpg More later, off to the pub!

Stay tuned! We're not back to the start yet!

Today we encountered some wildlife... http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/811500881_dino.jpg Unfortunately, many of the nicest views were obscurred by low clouds/fog. Here's one place where there was a break in the weather: http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1015864207_trinidad.jpg Typical home in Eureka, CA http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1596476983_carson.jpg

As I post this photo, Tom and Dion are still at the restaurant trying to determine who can eat the most Dungeness crab. At $40 a head they're trying to get their money's worth! http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1196740180_contest.jpg Here's the view from our hotel: http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/680058964_bridge.jpg Unfortunately there was a lot of this today: http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/279475119_cruise.jpg

Leaving Canada: http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1881718965_IMG_0962a.jpg Customs was quick and painless. I was amazed!

Some great roads on the way to Whistler today: http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1630593712_IMG_0752.jpg some were kinda bumpy though: http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1401735463_IMG_0748.jpg made reading the signs hard: http://usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1417113508_IMG_0744.jpg
