Looking forward to our drive in less than a week! Below is the latest and greatest updated schedule. It is nearly identical to what was previously posted, with some minor typo corrections and and updated map link. As I've said before, this is subject to change based on what the group feels like.
And below is who has confirmed as of today:
- Bill +1 - We will meet in Concord
- Rich & Kathy - We will meet you at the Marin Headlands
- Me & Heather
All letters in parentheses correspond to Google map locations.
Day 1 - Saturday
- (A) 9:00 a.m. - Meet up in Concord at Walmart parking lot right off Hwy 4.
- 9:15 a.m. - Depart from Concord
- Drive into the city from the north, across the Golden Gate bridge.
- (B) 10:15 a.m. - Arrive at Marin Headlands (this view)
- (C) 11:00 a.m. - Moore Rd (photoshoped pic from earlier visit)
- Optional 3rd stop based on time - Fort Point (other gull wings there)
- We will have to pay a toll for the Bridge. You can no longer do this with cash, without FastTrack you must pay online either in advance or 48 hours afterwards to avoid fines.
- (D) 11:45 a.m. - Drive down Lombard
- Due to there being 3 roads feeding into Lombard we will not plan on going as a group. This would require disobeying traffic laws and not represent DeLorean owners favorably for other motorists. Perhaps on another drive when we can arrive during a low traffic time of day we will do this as a group.
- (E) 12:00 p.m. - Arrive at Twin Peaks
You’ve likely seen this famous curvey road in car commercials such as this one for BMW or this one for Lexus- (F) 1:15 p.m. - Late lunch in Half Moon Bay - currently thinking Miramar since it has a coastal view, with a backup location of Mezza Luna
- (G) 4:45 p.m. - Arrive in Monterey via HWY 1, stop at vistas as we see fit. Park near cannery row and find a place for dinner.
- Stay the night in Monterey/Pacific Grove. I will be staying at Lighthouse Lodge & Cottages. They have off street parking and rooms look very nice. While it would be fun to stay together, feel free to stay where ever you’d like. We’ll meet up again in the morning.
Day 2 - Sunday
- Wake up, eat breakfast at your hotel
- (H) 9:00 a.m. Meet at someplace central to where everyone is staying, perhaps a strip mall store parking lot.
- (I) 9:30 a.m. - Hiking at Point Lobos State Park (parking lot $10)
- If the parking lot is full we may need to skip this unless we want to park on the road, not sure I’m up for that
- We will go for a brief hike
- Possible photo op near the water
- (J) 1:00 p.m. - Lunch at Bruno’s Market & Deli. This is a low key sandwhich shop.
- (K) 2 p.m. 17 Mile Drive (cost: ~$10)
Enter via the HWY 1 Entrance- Drive Home (any suggestions on a different route back?)
