Or just go to the restaurant.
Well... at first I was going to agree with this.........

But then.... a lot of socializing takes place at the Exxon......

Since the restaurant is small, would hate to tie up 20-40% of their tables while we socialize.....

So, guess I am in favor of meeting at a gas station somewhere before the restaurant..... that way we can also get the cars filled up!

Another advantage of meeting at the gas station.... the Riverstone only has one toilet per gender!!!
Good points, Fearless Leader.

I timed the drive from Fontana to 321 via the Foothills.

But I forget what it was.

If anyone is interested in making a run to the Devil's Triangle on thursday morning. Planning on leaving from FV around 8:30am for breakfast at the Gap and then leave from there. We could hook up with the OKI group and then go eat at the new place. Never been to the Triangle and always looking for something new to drive. Just throwing out options for the group to do.

It's always on. This is a tradition (besides, the OKI group couldn't find Fontana without help). Are we meeting at the Exxon or at the BP station? I'd prefer the Exxon because I can usually get a Maryville LEO to block traffic for us to leave (you think that's the main idea?).


Mikey, where are we going to meet?

Gene, there are only 3 of us committed to drive presently. We will leave when you are ready. Plenty of time to meet OKI Group.
