It was a beautiful day for a run down to the Monterey Bay, yesterday. Joining me were my wife, Carol . . . Our 7 year old nephew, Austin . . . and everyones' buddy, Shane (limeg35). Thanks to Carol for taking all of the many driving notes/details, which she did. Thanks to Shane for all of his help and making it a wondeful day for all of us. Hehehe . . . Shane, Austin was ranting on and on to his mother about the "Msyterious Fish," which he claimed to have seen in the waters below, as we were enjoying our lunch at Gilbert's.
***Everyone . . . Please note the driving route notes/details and Serramonte staging time change, as per the edited 1st post of this very same thread.***
***The Serramonte staging time has been changed to 9am to 10am instead of the originally posted 10am to 11am. We felt that due to the heavy anticipated traffic . . . This change will afford better driving conditions, driving time and available parking spaces at our final destination. The change in time will definitely make this Monterey Run a better experience for everyone attending. I apologize for any inconvenience(s), which the time change may create.***
Here are a few pics:

• 71.5 miles – turn Left into driveway/parking lot. This is the Macy’s/Marie Calendar parking lot at the Capitola Mall. We will stage here for a maximum of 30 minutes and allow others to catch up. Shane (LimeG35) found this staging area. It’s a great place to stop and stretch our legs. Within a very short walking distance are Starbucks, Jamba Juice, a Yogurt shop and who knows what else. We go back the exact same way, which originally came in, to re-enter the Hwy 1.

Anyone in San Jose (south bay) want to meet up somewhere and head down the 17 to 1 south and meet up with the rest of the pack? PM me and we'll work something out.

Avoiding potholes
I'll be there. Hold my hand here... Is it ok to have another type of car along? It's my weekend for my squirrels and between the bf and them it's a tight squeeze in my G. I'm bringing my G but will a heavily modded 300C be ok too?

Grace,
You are welcome to drive what you would like. This is not strictly a G meet. It's simply a bunch of new and old friends enjoying and sharing the roads together. We always have an excellent time and share many laughs and stories at lunch.
Hooman6MT,
I am looking forward to finally meeting you. I trust that you have adjusted to the Bay Area and finding it enjoyable.
****Everyone . . . Please note the driving route details in the very 1st post of this thread, which were edited in yesterday, as per my previous post.
Also, please note that will be leaving the Serramonte parking lot at 10am instead of 11am. ****
