Well, I made a bad turn myself, but was the only one.  :-)  (The guy
behind me, last in line, made the correct turn).

And then at the Portola->left whatever->right thing, I went right.  And
while a wrong turn, that strech was VERY fun. :-)

Well, for those into organization (and I voulnteer for this task) I
suggest that we make a phone list next time.  Both the lead and tail cars
should have phones (in theory) and the phone list for anyone who gets
lost. :-)

longish line of VWs and wondered what was up.

This brings up another point...it seems the last one of these was a few
months ago.  That's way to long.  (I really had a good time. :-)  So
perhaps we should try a (*gasp*) regular schedule of 1 a month or
something?
