Could I get some info on that one? My girlfriend and I will be headed down to Northern California around this date, for about a week or so, to hang out with friends and family for a short vacation. It'd be awesome to meet up with a bunch of other SLK enthusiasts while we're down there.

Is there any concern about the roads or conditions going up and over Old S.Cruz Hwy due to the Summit Fire?

No, the fire area is well south and not near where we are driving...

Y'all have the life up north with better roads and scenery..
Have you thought about .pdf or strait image files vs .mov stuff. The phone home attributes of mac is not desirable.

I am not sure what you are saying...a lot of the feedback has been that many folks like the choice of tunes and pictures...

Not a fan of .mov stuff
