Here's the plan dudes:
Saturday, August 18
Meet at the San Rafael High School parking lot on Saturday around 2pm (directions below). By 2:30, from there, we'll make a sweet Volvo caravan out to Limantour Beach (yes, if you Google it, the first hits include the word "nude" but I promise I've never seen any doodles I didn't want to see out there). From downtown SR it takes about an hour...very windy roads, beautiful scenery, totally awesome drive. Lots of picturesque moments to take some glamour shots of the ol' brick on the way out.
What to bring:
beach balls, bikinis, and booze. Also, if you plan on camping out overnight you might consider a sleeping bag, tent, warm layers, anything else you plan on using to defend yourself from mountain lions and sea monsters (maybe not but it might get kind of windy or cold). Also: food, grillables (if someone's got a little hibachi grill that'd be sweet, if not skewers work for hot doggies), water. When we go we usually spend a while picking up driftwood from the beach for a nice bonfire, but it wouldn't hurt to have some extra firewood. Keep in mind that there is short hike from the parking lot to the beach but it's nothin you can't handle, just don't bring eight kajillion bags of crap. I got my portable ipod speakers that worked pretty well last time, so we are good for tunes but feel free to bring yours.
Directions to SRHS:
(if you look for directions online it's gonna give you an address on Mission St., since that's the administration building, but the parking lot is on Third St., you'll see a big field and a track on either side of it...Google maps is the best (tru dat) double true! http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=...&sspn=0.001015,0.001824&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=19&om=1 )
From 580W: Merge onto 101N, and stay in the exit lane for Central San Rafael. At the light, turn R onto Second street. Stay in the left lanes. Go through 2 traffic lights; Second street becomes Third street as it becomes two-way. Pass the Trader Joe's shopping center on your right and the Whole Foods on your left; make a left into the SRHS parking lot.
From 101N: Exit at Central San Rafael, follow directions above.
From 101S: Exit at Central San Rafael. Go through several traffic lights until you get to Second street; stay in the second lane turning left (Second is a one-way street). Turn left into the two right-most lanes (right side of the freeway pillar). Once on Second street follow directions above.
In case you're late and/or get lost (don't get lost), here is where we're driving:

Sooooo post if you can make it. That's all I can think of right now, so I will leave you with some teasers. This is from when we spent the night on the beach last weekend.
