Plans to leave from SD for SC 2010

[HonkeyTonker]

kk. so there's already two threads on San Diegeans' making the journey to SC, but one's '08 and the other's '09. here we go:

Who's planning on leaving when from SD area. maybe we can carpool or caravan. might be fun...

[WestCoastLady]

Me!!! TGCali is SD, too.

I'm lobbying for leaving around 4-5 p.m. on Thursday, but my guy friend wants to leave on Friday morning-ish....I don't think TGCali is planning on leaving until later on Friday.

What are you thinking?

maybe ill leave with tg. i have to go to this class on friday at 10am but i can leave right after. idk yet, we'll see

[tgcali]

I'm leaving early Friday morning. Like between 7 and 8. How long is your class HT? I could maybe postpone for a couple of hours.

I get out at 11am

[tgcali]

We could plan to meet up at noon and caravan in? Sound good. We'll still get there mid afternoon. Works for me. What part of the county are you in?

kk. that sounds like a plan. maybe we can meet somewhere or something. daughter coming too this year or just mommy?? also.... when you driving back down??

[tgcali]

We can definitely meet up and drive up together. Sounds like a plan. Little Bit will be with me, I don't get Mama time yet.....LOL.

WCL? Let us know when you nail down the time you're leaving, OK?

kk. when you driving back down tho?

[WestCoastLady]

Checking in - don't have firm times yet - I wanted to go up Thursday night, but it may make more sense to wait until Friday....

Not planning on driving back until Monday, since I have that day off ;)

[tgcali]

I'm coming back Monday morning HT. Let us know WCL.

[HonkeyTonker]

I'm coming back Monday morning HT. Let us know WCL.

bummer. i won't be drinking sunday after like 3p because i will be headed home after the last concert on sunday night. I have an exam bright and too early monday morning....

[tgcali]

Bummer! Well, you still get to enjoy the festival though. Just pack all the fun in on Friday night and Saturday! LOL

[IheartMillerLite]

I'll be your Sunday sober buddy...I have to drive home after the concert that night as well. =)

[HonkeyTonker]

lol yay?

[IheartMillerLite]

Ha, well I guess we should laugh about it. We can laugh at all the other drunks in our group. =)

[HonkeyTonker]

haha that WILL be fun:D

[cortdawg]

I am driving from SD as well but might now be leaving until 8:30 pm (Friday)....is that a bad idea? its my first time....thx!

[deegee83]

hey you guys if you think you are gonna caravan up without old deegee, well, you got another thing comin. :mad: thanks a lot for leaving me out of the plans:(

I blocked off Friday as a vacation day from work, so I'm down to go out any time that day. I'm liking the mid-morning roll out.

I'm in UTC now off the 52 and the 5....should be easy to meet up in Clairemont if that's the plan.

[WestCoastLady]

I'm more south (LG/94) but we can meet up anywhere :)

I'd still like to go up Thursday night to help with the set-up, but logistics are looking like a Friday departure for us, too.....

[WestCoastLady]

Qualcomm's good for me - we can jump on 8 right there....

There's also a Costco right there if we need any additional "refreshments" at the last minute :)

[Chevgirl357]

No, you're thinking of LACountryBoy. OneBadCountryBoy lives down South with ya'll.

[kylieaynk]

I need a ride from San Diego Imperial Beach area, I'll chip in for gas! I am working at the stagecoach festival, so I'd love to get there as early as possible, but I am pretty flexible. You can e-mail me or PM me... kylieaynk@yahoo.com

[onebadcountryboy2613]

we would love to have you but :confused: don't you live in L.A.?

Nope, i live in the LG darlin!!!!! (thats lemon grove for all you none san diegans) lol

i'm still tryin to work out the tix situation, the lady doesn't know if we can afford to go still....bummer i know, thats what i get for procrastinatin....

[HonkeyTonker]

okk sounds like a plan. yay im excited. We'll post exact meeting place and time as it approaches. we still got like 4 weeks :(

[tgcali]

Qualcomm is fine but it doesn't like me. It's in the valley, and I get lost in the valley.
Everytime, without fail. Seriously.... Don't ask, I don't know.

I'll need REALLY good directions and I'll be there! (Or I'll be calling you from close by asking where the hell to go.....)

hahhaha thats funny. yea it took me some getting used to in mission valley and i have a REALLY good sense of direction... but now im good:)

[tgcali]

Actually guys and gals, What about someplace not in the valley. I would end up having to go from North Park to Clairemont to load up and get Little Bit and then to Qualcomm.....in an hour. Any thoughts?

[tgcali]

hahhaha thats funny. yea it took me some getting used to in mission valley and i have a REALLY good sense of direction... but now im good:)

I don't think I will ever be good in the valley. It doesn't like me!

[HonkeyTonker]

Actually guys and gals, What about someplace not in the valley. I would end up having to go from North Park to Clairemont to load up and get Little Bit and then to Qualcomm.....in an hour. Any thoughts?

the only reason i said qualcomm is cause its right next to the 15. we can meet in escondido if you'd prefer. what do ppl think???

or is there a way you could load up the night before then just pick up little bit in the morning.... idk im just trying to see whats easiest for everyone....

[tgcali]

the only reason i said qualcomm is cause its right next to the 15. we can meet in escondido if you'd prefer. what do ppl think???

I know, I don't mean to be a pain. We need to be next to the 15. Wally World on Aero?

And we can absolutely do Qualcomm if that's what everyone prefers. I'm just exploring a possibility here. Seriously, majority rules on this.

[HonkeyTonker]

Wally World on Aero?

whats that?

[tgcali]

whats that?

LOL!! Wal-Mart on Aero Dr. It's right off the 15. I meant right off of it.:p

There's a Sizzler, Fry's Electronics, Chargers Headquarters, McDonald's.

[HonkeyTonker]

LOL!! Wal-Mart on Aero Dr. It's right off the 15. I meant right off of it.:p

oh yea i know where that is... yea thats cool with me. lets see what everyone else says....

[tgcali]

Looks like I might have to skip the caravan up. I'm being told I'll need to be in the office until 1:00 or 2:00 p.m. on that Friday. I'm working on it, but I don't think I can get out of it at this point. I'll keep ya updated. Bummer.

[tgcali]

I know HT, I'm trying. Realy, I am. You guys meet where ever is good for you. I feel bad. I can't do anything about this though.

[WestCoastLady]

Nope, i live in the LG darlin!!!!! (thats lemon grove for all you none san diegans) lol

Hey now! I live in the LG, too!!! Small world!! I'm off Mass @ San Miguel ;)

[WestCoastLady]

IHML - That area hasn't changed much....I work right off Aero and Ruffin :)

The best thing to come out of the shopping area at 15/Aero is a place called Tony's - you wouldn't think a place called Tony's would make great sushi, but....yummy!!!!

[deegee83]

^ good to know ^ i'm always searching for good sushi joints

And is it still Walmart @ Aero/15?

I am in for sure. Let's meet at the South End of the Wal-Mart parking lot, easier to find since nobody ever parks there.

So far we have confirmed:
westcoastlady
deegee83

+ who else can confirm noon at wally world on Friday ?

[GeorgeStraitfan1]

I'm dippin out of SD on Friday around 12:30. See you all there!

[greg-andrea]

I am heading up from San Diego Thursday night. Going to hook the trailer up to the truck and head on up. I need to make a stop in Ontario to pick up a few family members but will then be on our way. I am leaving from Rancho Penasquitos, anyone want to caravan? Thanks

[EmptyWater]

Hi everyone,
I'm a young Canadian traveler looking for a drive up to the Stagecoach festival. I will be staying in the Ramona area At that time so if possible, pickup in that area would be really apreciated. I am willing to chip in for gas. Please let me know if you have room :)

[HonkeyTonker]

kk, so who's meeting to carpool. and what time did we decide?? its this weekend and i cant believe it slash cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[deegee83]

you mean the 60?

yea thats fine. it really wont matter that much.... i like to speed though... how fast y'all drive?

[WestCoastLady]

Hey now....we don't break the rules, right? lol

We're driving a 13 year old SUV with 160K miles on it - not sure we're going to be doing 90 mph up mountains!

[deegee83]

LOL @ how am I gonna negotiate through this - with mr. speed demon and a 13 year old minivan in opposite corners. I can go either way. (big surprise there, eh?)

:confused:

I will take a stab at it - tomorrow I will post the exact specs on the back roads route, but rest assured that there are lots of twisties through the mtns and going fast is not cool unless you want to do a thelma and louise off the cliffside. ;)

[HonkeyTonker]

I can go either way. (big surprise there, eh?)


thats cute

[deegee83]

Here's the backroads route from San Diego to the desert:

15 North
79 South (Temecula)
371 North (Aguanga)
74 East (over the Santa Rosa Mountain - ends at 111 in the city of Palm Desert)
Hwy 111 East to Indio.


HonkeyTonker and WestCoastlady: You down?

[Pistol Pete]

Hey DG, just wanted to ask if it's quicker to take highway 10 out to indio--especially in an RV??? We took the mt. route out last year from SD it was a great trip and really fun but it seemed like it took a really long time. Let me know if you have any advice.

On another note, my group and I may ride out with you!! We were planning on leaving spring valley around 12 anyway so we may join the OFFICIAL "STAGECOACH TWENTY-TEN CARAVAN!" ;)

Maybe I missed it but is anyone else leaving from Wally World in an RV or did everyone have theirs delivered? CANT WAIT TIL FRIDAY!

-Pistol

[HonkeyTonker]

why not 15 to the 215 to the 60 to the 10

or even quicker, 15 to 215 to 91 to 10????

[deegee83]

HT: Tis the beauty of the drive that is the factor. NOT the time it takes. Sure it may be faster to go 15 but what an ugly drive!

Pistol: It is not a good idea to go the back roads way in an RV. Too many twisties up and down the mountain. Take the freeway route. Our RVs are being delivered. We're driving our cars up on this caravan.

NOW, having said all that, if Pistol is joining us, let's go the freeway route and forget about the backroads route.

Your call, Pistol!!!! What'll it be?

[HonkeyTonker]

HT: Tis the beauty of the drive that is the factor. NOT the time it takes. Sure it may be faster to go 15 but what an ugly drive!


I just wanna get there and get my drink on

hahah

ok wally world noon it is, yes???

[Pistol Pete]

Hey DG, Thanks again for the consideration and the good advice but I don't want to keep you guys from getting your party on and having a good time! I think the backroads is the best route-- highway 60 with that delay is going to be a killer so I wouldn't want to risk that on a Friday afternoon :/ !!!!
Anyway, I checked out mapquest for another route on some straighter highways and I think we'll just take the RV up that way instead and come in the from the southside of indio (up the 86) And that will actually put us in line to roll into Stick and Ball from 52nd street and avoid most of the backed up traffic (everyone else coming down from Monroe)!!!

BUT! Hopefully we'll see you there somewhere and drink some beers!-- I'll be wearing a Black and white stagecoach jersey with "Pistol" and number 88 on the back so if you see me wondering around just give me a holler!

T-minus 24 Hours!!! See you all there!

-PISTOL

[teachbyday]

That back road is a little gnarly, pulling an RV, we're going to go the ugly road (15). Another thing to consider, going through Santa Ysabel and up that way, there's most likely snow right now...at least I think that's the route we took last year???

[HonkeyTonker]

OOO good thought.... another reason to take the 15

besides if we take the 60 we'll get some back country road (10 miles of it at least)

[deegee83]

k im down with that route

see ya at noon tomorrow. I have your cell # programmed in my phone - got it from WCL
and will call u if you aren't there on time. no joke.

what you be driving so we know what to look for?

WCL has an SUV and I'm in my silver Accord.
