I haven't seen any discussion about meeting up with John and Jan this
week. I might not be able to drive at the track event on Thursday, so I
might be free then, but I have Friday blocked of to visit with them.
I'm also curious about their, other people's interest in seeing a bit
more of the bay area than just SF. My suggestion would be to head down
the coast from SF to moss landing with a possible detour to the redwoods
in my neighborhood, and meeting for dinner someplace in the South Bay or
on the Peninsula.
I'd be totally up for giving them a ride for at least half of the loop
if someone could get them from SSF/Brisbane/Daly City down the coast.
Maybe meeting up at Pigeon Point or Half Moon bay on their drive down.
Points of interest on that loop:
The new park at Devil's slide
Various parks and beaches down the coast:
Waddell Creek
Wilder Ranch
Davenport, sharkfin cove
Pigeon Point Lighthouse
Henry Cowell, Fall Creek, Castle rock or Big Basin parks
Innumerable wineries
There are often lots of critters to see at Moss Landing. John Francis
seemed to enjoy our visit a few weeks ago, where I got my best sea otter
photos so far.
Boomeria in the Santa Cruz mountains, where a teacher from my high
school used to let the students have big water battles and let them
build a castle, tunnels and a 2500 pipe organ

Roaring camp, the steam train in Felton can also be worth a few minutes
and is next door to Henry Cowell state park.
In downtown Santa Cruz, Pacific Ave can be an entertaining blend of
touristy shopping and hippie buskers and street venders, and there is
also the wharf, boardwalk, and a few miles south the cement boat.
There are, of course, plenty of iconic things to see and do in SF, and
Marin, but they want to see some of the more unique bits of the Bay Area.
