Pretty darn fun, not a race, a rally on some scenic mountain roads
Check it out, it is 500 miles, starts in Sacramento and overnights at CalNeva. This will be my 4th time. Last weekend in April, but if you are interested you best hop to it.Alpine 500 It is for 1975 and older, but I am sure if you have a 1976, they would cut you some slack |

It is not really a timed event, GPS would be nice to have, or at least an odometer. The bug had a rather inaccurate speedo/odo from when the crappy little plastic gear in there was replaced with a brass one that was not quite the exact size. This is more a test of how well you follow instructions, good practice for a real time and distance rally I bet.
Where you planning to go straight(or more likely windy mountain roads) home after or scenic route? You could go down through Yosemite(if you have never been, and assuming the road is open, which is unlikely as it is one of a few roads over 10,000 ft, I highly recommend it) via 395, then Joshua Tree and home. There are places to stay in Placerville, W of conclusion on Hwy 50, or you could stay at the "haunted" Truckee Hotel, a little farther away off I-80. |
