Don't get back on 24 at Acalanes, continue on El Nido. It will cross back under 24 and end at Mt Diablo Blvd. Turn Left onto Mt Diablo and continue through Lafayette on Mt Diablo until Pleasant Hill Rd.
Obey all speed signs and NO revving through Lafayette.

Get back on 24 to WC. You will need to merge left 2-3 lanes to be on the correct side of the split. Look for the Ygnacio Exit.
I'll check again going home tonight. It's so much slower going next to the freeway. It would be better if you can stay on 24. I'll figure out which lanes are ok on my way home. I feel like I'm leading you into a hornet's nest going through Lafayette. Be very careful going through that city, ok boys????

Of course you could always just get off at St Stephens just to get back on at Acalanes. The on ramp is worth it.

Another kitty thread...lol

Just my .02 in avoiding 24 all together though it's backtracking to WC.
You could go 80 to Pinole/Hercules, take 4 east toward Martinez, to 680 south (SJ) through Concord to WC.

More miles/gas/time, but no rocks/chips, etc and avoid Lafayette. I here you on that one Gillian
Be careful on the 4 in the beginning especially by golf course if anyone chooses that way.
