Carmel has LOTS of great places to eat. Grab lunch in Carmel and walk around. If you enjoy art work, they have some of the best galleries to stop in at. Make sure to go check out Robert Knight's gallery if you are into nature/wildlife photography. He has been winning a lot of awards.

There are also lots of wineries and tasting rooms around Carmel and Monterrey if you are down to check out some great wine. I really enjoy Morgan's wines. Every Sunday they do a library tasting and bust out the old stuff!

 

I think you should if you havent been there before, there are couple of threads of pics from our Pebble Beach meet/drive on this section, check them our see if its worth your time and money.

 

Thanks again for the responses. You guys gave us some great ideas.


Like I said, I may try to make it out to a local meet sometime (maybe even with my G)....

 

FYI:

Pics from the Monterey run last June (including one involving territory marking in Santa Cruz. ) at https://g35driver.com/forums/northern-california/165113-monterey-run-6-30-07-pics.html

 

Nice pics (errr... you don't get that kind on scenery in Dallas). I will put PB on the list of things to do.

 

HAHAHAHA...I just went back and read the PB thread again, FVCKing good times. I was so hungry? I spoked in Chinese.

 

Man, I've been on this board too long (or at least hanging out in the Lounge too long) - I saw "PB" and my mind automatically inserted "IIT" in the middle.

 

If you go to Pebble Beach, may I suggest "Roy's" in Spanish Bay for dinner (upscale restaurant with beautiful view of golf course and ocean view) or lunch at "Stix" right next store for more casual sports bar/restaurant. Excellent French Dip, Philly Cheese steak sandwich/fries. Also one of the best "Bloody Mary" drink. Either place, the wife will enjoy the view.

I think it's $10 entrance fee into 17 mile drive, but you'll get it back when you eat at either places.

That is a good idea. I thought I had read somewhere it cost money for 17 mile, and that you could get a refund from any restaurant on the drive.

 

If you tell the park ranger that you need to use the ATM, Wells Fargo or Bank of the West, whichever one is at the club house, I don't think they can charge you. At least that's what my buddy that lives in Pacific Grove said works for him. I just slow to 15 MPH through the ranger's booth and hold my badge out the window and keep on going.

 

Montrio has great food downtown. Definitely recommend it!

 

Go shoot some golf at Pebble Beach...

 

Haha, I wish. My golf game doesn't justify the $500 green fee. It would be sweet though.

I actaully played out here a couple of weeks ago when I was in Fremont (at Sping Valley in Milpitas) and I think I shot around 100. Shooting a 100 at Pebble Beach doesn't seem right....
