Incidentally, I googleearthed the mileage from Valencia to Kingsburg using the path measuring device and I came up with 160 miles.

From the 210, merge onto the I-5 North up and over the "Grapevine", split away to the 99 just South of Bakersfield and on to Kingsburg.

A good place to meet for everyone coming from south of LA and our Phoenix buds
would be around the Magic Mountain area in Valencia. Lots of restaurants with big parking lots right next to the I-5 (a Bazillion Starbucks - all with wifi access ). Not trying to take over anyone's planning. Just a suggestion for you guys.

Hey Gary, I was going to suggest that you check out and pick a spot to meet in Valencia. I'm going to pick a spot probably where the 210 and the 605 meet for the guys from SoCal to gather. Then we can make a stop in Valencia and another in Bakersfield to pick up Artsmart and whoever comes over the hill with her. Find a good place and PM me the address.
