SVT NAJA Posted December 23, 2013 Report Share Posted December 23, 2013 This is short notice and not for everyone due to holiday schedules, but sunny weather and temps in the mid-60's is perfect for a scenic cruise to the Point Reyes National Seashore. I'll be leaving Sears Sun Valley in Concord on Willow Pass Road off I-680 about 8:30am and after a short visit near the Point, we'll stop in Stinson Beach for lunch. The cruise will end about 2:00pm in the Marin Headlands overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco - so you're home in time for Christmas Eve festivities. Post up if you're interested... Jim Here's the route we'll be taking: https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=sun+valley+mall&daddr=37.9559058,-122.5477081+to:Sir+Francis+Drake+Blvd+to:37.99286,-122.752382+to:Golden+Gate+Bridge,+San+Francisco,+CA&hl=en&ll=37.99021,-122.528458&spn=0.507604,1.056747&sll=37.992375,-122.527084&sspn=0.507589,1.056747&geocode=FZVYQwId8oC5-CGzl4ptYjNT4ylRmbnwx2aFgDGzl4ptYjNT4w%3BFUEpQwIdBBKy-CmPriMJrpCFgDEe6U_tRQlrxg%3BFebjQwIdoTSr-A%3BFZy5QwIdgvKu-CkBG-3fPMCFgDGLgszYc1mCtA%3BFeYVQQIdWSCz-CEJVXCDlxPtzSnD____3oaFgDEJVXCDlxPtzQ&oq=golden+&gl=us&mra=dvme&mrsp=1&sz=11&via=1,3&t=m&z=11 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_Reyes_National_Seashore Members attending: SVT NAJA itowem TClark24CP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Patten Posted December 24, 2013 Report Share Posted December 24, 2013 You'll have to extend the road trip down to Hollister because Kellie and I are going to be @ redneckgt's house in the afternoon ( X-mas eve ). or I can leave the wash bucket , sponge , and hose out front.

SVT NAJA Posted December 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 The weather was stellar today for our Christmas Eve cruise to Point Reyes. We met at Sun Valley with a Starbucks in hand as the crowds started to descend on the mall for some last minute shopping. We made our way over to Marin County and after passing San Quentin, navigated our way west on Sir Francis Drake Blvd. We passed through Samuel P. Taylor state park, which contains a mature forest of Coastal Redwood trees and soon arrived in Olema (which straddles the San Andreas fault) where State Route 1 runs through town. Heading north, we entered Point Reyes Station where the road to the Lighthouse begins. After spending some time taking pictures and soaking up the sun at the Point, we were off for Stinson Beach, a popular hamlet an hour north of downtown San Francisco. We surveyed the beach and then relaxed and enjoyed a tasty lunch (OK, breakfast). We were then off for our final stop in the Marin Headlands for some more pics (this last section of road was featured several years ago in a popular 2010 Shelby GT500 video which is posted below). The views of the Golden Gate Bridge with San Francisco in the background were spectacular and temps in the 60's made the day enjoyable! I want to thank Mike, Tom and his lovely wife for joining me today on our little jaunt. I wish all of our Team Shelby family a Merry Christmas, the best of health and a Happy New Year! Looking forward to seeing you in 2014. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SVT NAJA Posted December 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 Tom and his wife navigated 308 steps down (and back up) to reach the Point Reyes Lighthouse. Very rewarding!
