If you are bringing the camaro and are into racing, Infineon Raceway is about 15 mins from Petaluma and drag races are on Wednesday nights.

There is San Francisco, which is a tourist type place, lots of cool things to check out:
Golden Gate Bridge
Fisherman's Wharf
Lombard Street
Seal Beach
Ocean Beach
Treasure Island (good place to take photos as it was an old military base)

If you are into Wine Tasting, Napa Valley has some of the best wineries on the West Coast. There are a lot within a 30 min drive of Petaluma.

If you're into lakes, Clear Lake is about a 1-2 hour drive from San Francisco; theres lots of open water, you can rent boats, jet skis, house boats. One of the nicer lakes in the area.

If you decide to head down to SoCal, theres a lot down there, but if you have the time I would recommend taking Hwy down. It takes a lot longer than taking I-5 straight down, but its an absolutely scenic drive.

Pretty late so thats all I can think of off the top of my head!

Thanks for the suggestions. We've already covered a few of them, but I guess we'll just have to leave some of these things for the next trip. We need to keep rolling east. Too much to see between here & home yet.

Keep posting up the gorgeous pics - you have to try to get one with the Camaro and El Capitain while you're in Yosemite

Don't forget to call HotRodSally when you get near Vegas!

We had a great time Jeanette. Like Chuck in Seattle, she gave us kind of a "behind the scenes" tour of the city.

will I know what 'El Capitan' is when I get there?

We will be sure to get in touch with HotRodSally when we get close. Looks like we will be spending a night close to there.


Thanks, Gary.
