Hey Tom
Long time since we spoke!
I loved cruising over Loma Prieta playing Neal's
Fandango at the Saratoga concerts two years ago....what a blast. Lee Ann
and I had a white Mustang convertible and hit several of the Wineries on the
mountain. At one winery they had just purchased the property and
management and were not even aware that they were on Loma Prieta.
Geez.
Ukiah. I think the fresh clean smell of the
pines depends on which way the wind is blowing. If you head from there to
the coast and hit the PCH, the adventure is incredible. Otherwise,
anything on the main drag........is.........a drag.

HI all,
First
time to post in months, but had to jump in on the Doobie locations. Went
to China Grove a few years back. Talk about a swinging town...not.
Unfortunately, a big thunderstorm moved in just when I got there and I did
not even get out to pose by the China Grove sign. Tommy nailed that place
right when he called it a "sleepy little town."
I drove through
Ukia, CA last June going from San Francsico up to Portland. It was 115
degrees when I went through, so I did not stop and do much site seeing. It
did not see m to too big a place either, but not quite a sleepy as China
Grove.
My favorite Doobie locale is to drive over Highway 17 from San
Jose to Santa Cruz with Neal's Fandango blaring in the car. Nothing like
driving through the Loma Prieta area with that tune blaring. You folks
that have been to Saratoga the last few yars know all about that part of
the world.
That is all for now. Hello to all the long-timers in the
club. I am still around, but spend most of my time lurking these days.
Take care and keep on rockin' down the highway.
Tom C.
