Friday 5:00 AM Meet Location
CalTrain Station at Ford Road and Monterey Highway.

Directions:
- Take either 880 South or 680 South.
- Exit and merge onto 101 South, towards Los Angeles.
- Take the Blossom Hill Road exit towards Silver Creek Valley Road.
- Turn right onto Blossom Hill Road.
- Turn left onto Monterey Road / Monterey Highway South.
- Go past the Monterey Plaza Shopping Center.
- Turn left onto Ford Road and enter CalTrain's parking lot.

Be on time!
And show up on time! I'm sure many of us will want to take pics or film our 17 240SXs before we depart. Don't let your car be left out! =)

FRS radios
Please bring at least one FRS radio and extra batteries! If you still have not gotten one, please get one. They cost from $20 to over $80. All you need is a standard one with 14 channels. Rather than flashing the blinkers and having everyone stop whenever someone has something to say, we'll just use these to contact each other while on the road. These may even come in handy in future 240SX meets, especially in areas where our mobile phones don't have reception.

Group leader
It just occured to me that TJ (San Jose) doesn't have a mobile phone, which means he won't be able to be in contact with Jeff's group, or my group if we split up. Example: If TJ's group wants to go faster because my group is too slow, TJ and I will be responsible for letting our groups stay in contact with each other through our mobile phones because the FRS radios will be out of range. It really doesn't matter who calls who but it's probably safer to just assign someone so we know that somebody is capable of contacting other groups. Does anyone in TJ's group have a mobile phone and can takeover that responsibility?

Edit: Or we can just go as the 101 group and the I-5 group. And those of us on I-5 will split up only if we really have to.

Caravan info updated.
