Met with the owners of the Freeport Bar & Grill and we are confirmed for lunch there. http://freeportbarandgrill.com/index.html This a great spot for us. The food is great and they have agreed to let us sit either inside in the cool A/C or outside under the trees. They are also going to provide us with priority parking in front. :chpr

Hello Final Leg'rs! Below is the route we will be taking from Reno to Oakland. The route combines two-lane roads where practical and some freeways where necessary. By mapping program calculations it looks to be about 270 miles. Basically we will taking some frontage roads through the Sierras from Truckee to Auburn, freeway through Sacramento, run down the Sacramento River to Antioch, freeway through the Caldecott tunnels and into Oakland/Emeryville. Lunch will be in Freeport along the Sacramento river. We will making plenty of stops for scenic points and historic points. Dinner location is yet to be determined as are hotel recommendations. Please keep checking for details and updates.

Here's my vote for Gary (WoodlandVic) for the gig. Guy deserves a trip back east for all that he has done for many VMC members.
