Northern California Diesel Drive - 1/20/07 - Benzworld.org

Back by Popular demand (after the Sacramento GTG) is our Drive (all Benz's welcome) but right now the majority are diesels.

Time: 10 AM, will depart around 10:30
Place: Marin County Civic Center

Route Plans:

I think meeting at the Marin County Civic Center will work fine. There is a larger parking lot there for us to meet at and its right off of highway 101.

Here are directions to the Civic Center for those unfamiliar with the area:
County Of Marin: Error Handler

As for the drive, here is my proposal from a previous post:

Leg 1.
Depart from Marin County Civic Center
Head West on N. San Pedro Rd. (crossing over 101)
L. on Los Ranchitos Rd./Lincoln Ave.
Right on 4th Street (downtown San Rafael) which turns into Sir Francis Drake blvd.
Right on Nicasio Valley Road.
Left on Point Reyes st. Road/D Street
Left on Highway 1, head south through the town of Pt. Reyes Station.
Right onto Sir Francis Drake blvd. heading northwest through the town of Inverness out to the Point Reyes Natl. Seashore.
Lets go to the lighthouse!

Leg 2.
Return on Sir Francis Drake blv. to highway 1.
Right onto highway 1 headed south.
Right onto Olema Bolinas Road
Olema Bolinas road takes us straight into the heart of Bolinas, and to the doorstep of the Coast Cafe.

Leg 3.

Return on Olema Bolinas Road to highway 1.
Right onto highway 1.
Highway 1 leads us through Stinson Beach, up and over the coastal range back to highway 101.
Take 101 south towards the Golden Gate Bridge/G.G. National recreation area... perhaps for photo ops etc... theres a spot under the n. side of the bridge with views of the city etc...

The Coast Cafe in Bolinas is about as nice and cozy as u can get on any coastal day... super casual and chill, fireplace, light foods to rich delicious Steaks, beer, coffee etc.. all reasonably priced. Coast Cafe Restaurant, Bolinas California
