FWIW -- I might think an outing in the Gold Country would attract
non-SFO bay residents.  That would seem to be a summer activity,
however.  I can think of a couple of good spots in Arizona, but
that would preclude the California people (especially since
the spots I am thinking of are in the Central and Southeast AZ
areas).

Can one of you database phreaks come up with the central spot
on list, weighted for number of people and and average
cruising speed of Micros, Busses, Wasserboxers, Diesels, &c...?

That would probably end up being somewhere just east of Muddy
Gap, Wyoming! ;->
