also I think we should have one guy designated to be in the middle that knows the way... this way if we get split up.... there'll be someone to follow that won't lead in the opposite direction...

thanks for volunteering KC, you got the middle
I was gonna need someone to keep in contact with in the back of the caravan, but the middle is fine.

Here is the link from my "Advanced search" you can read about the history of BOS 1-BOS 7
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sea...archid=8789747

More Caravan Details:
- This is one of the largest get together event for all Lexus owners
- Plenty of free goodies
- There will be food trucks at the event that you can go and buy lunch.
- You need to show up on time at Starbucks on Calvine we all then drive together to Fremont,(no speeding or anything crazy) we'll be on the slow lanes 99% of the time since we going to have a very large caravan. I'm leading the way (Caravan) so we'll be staying on speed limit. Dont afraid to ask for my number when we meet at Starbucks just in case you need to get a hold of me. Or you can PM me your # now and I'll reply with a text, will also text you in future events.
- You are more than welcome to bring friends or family along.
- Its almost 2hrs drive so please fill your tank ahead of time!

5. There are opportunities for video and rolling photo shoots along the way,
6. Coordinators know the best and safest route.
7. Coordinators are kept apprised of speed traps and may be given detour directions by the BOS staff
8. For some part of the fun of attending BOS is the cruise down and back.
9. Rolling merge is to meet with other members at a designated point without the caravan stopping. Veteran members been there done that. Not noob suggested.

Checked and tested all fuses and its all good. Gonna send it to flexinsteelz to look at it this week but neither way because of the situation i never got a chance to flare my fenders and slap a different set of wheels on, so i don't wanna bring my car out in its current state for this event.

Due to a large number of cars we will not get on 680 from 580(that ramp is always crowded)
Instead we will take 580 to 880. Also, we will NOT exit Auto Mall Parkway. Please follow the caravan NOT your GPS
See everyone Sunday at Starbucks on Calvine & Power Inn @:
7:15AM
