[quote=frankeyser] That is a great drive, the second time we drove down your way I made the mistake of taking a side road that the gps said would save us time and went straight to ELK...

HaHa, I'm pretty sure you probably took the Philo Greenwood Rd., it is definitely a backroad! Hwy.128 is best, all the way to the coast, then head South. Recently re-paved, no pot holes, C.H.P. is a rarity; it rocks!
I'll P.M. you with my #'s in case you decide to make it over. I'm sure looking forward to the Reno/Tahoe area, and like I told you, we're here to help w/ whatever you may need, just let us know.
