Invite is open. Would love to meet up w/ any Forum members up here. We have several wineries on the way up and over via Hwy.128., in fact, so many that you may want to consider bringing a D.D. w/ you.
Another forum member and his wife enjoy coming over to the coast on occasion, and have met up with them before. Hwy.128 is one of Calif.'s nicer rural scenic routes, and a top driving route(twisties and elevation changes galore!). When it meets the coast at Hwy.1, it is a site to see.
