Can I leave it up to you guys to sort out an itinerary, as we really have little idea of what's good to visit. The only caveat is that Jan would like to see the redwoods, so that might help the decision-making process. We're happy to visit SF itself on a by-foot trip on the alternative day.
John in LA -----Original Message----- From: PDML [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Larry Colen Sent: Tuesday, 8 November 2016 12:09 PM To: Pentax-Discuss List <[email protected]> Subject: Bay Area meetup with the Coyle's 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 http://boomeria.com/tour/tour.html http://boomeria.com/tour/pipeorgn.html 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. -- Larry Colen [email protected] (postbox on min4est) http://red4est.com/lrc -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
