Since it is coming down Prairie City- and I have a ladder I thought I would watch it from the back yard...
Like front row seats on the wall...
What time is it coming through ?

Another great day in the adventure of exploration and sight.

I'll be at the corner of Sutter and Riley. Party central. Plus they slow down a little bit coming up Riley Street there. Should be pretty cool.

Yes, I have it on my calendar and I'm looking to watch it from the same place you are if I can get in there...

It looks like the BEST place is the sprint line in old town Folsom.
Since I work in EDH & could easily slip away for an early extended lunch, I'm wondering what it would be like to watch the action out off Prairie City, White Rock & Scott Rd.
I imagine it would be a long & dusty walk. Does anyone know where I would park is for that location?
I hate to take the whole day off, but I missed the Amgen tour when it came through Visalia a few years ago. I'd like to see it!

I'll probably have my laptop, my grande iced coffee with NF milk and three pumps of sugar-free vanilla and catch it at the Starbucks near the corner of Prairie City and Iron Point (near Intel in the Safeway parking lot).
Or wherever Davburr tells me he's going.

In front of Intel. I hope I don't sneeze, because I know we will see them for all of 5 seconds tearing through Prairie City Road.

If you come watch in front of Sutter Middle, my orchestra will play for you while you wait. At least we will if it's not raining.

My employer will not let me take a couple of hours off & I don't want to take off the entire day, so I will most likely take my lunch break & watch at the Prairie City- White Rock - Scott Rd section.
OR, maybe one of you can video tape the action & post it on line.

Today's weather was crazy. They cancelled the first stage.
I was lucky I finished my run just as the lightning, thunder & hail started today.
Wonder how Bay to Breakers was for stevethdad today.

If anyone hears what time they plan to arrive in Folsom
tomorrow morning, please put the time on here. If I hear
before anyone else I will put the time here. I don't
want to go down and sit for hours.
Thanks.
