I'll be going out to the port again this weekend with the lady for a picnic/Frisbee throwing if anyone wants to join. Probably Saturday, but Sunday is a maybe too if I get caught up on Sat.

I could probably swing up from the South Bay and make this. Been too long since I have participated in any meets. Want to see some of those suspension, wheel/tire, and engine setups.

afternoon?
 
What time were you thinking? I'll be down in Santa Clara earlier in the day but could swing by around 4p.

awww everybody misses Jenny... :brokenheart: :slap: :lol:


back to the park. I got a chance to check the place out, it's not a bad venue for a bbq/meet. There are some pretty nice picnic table/bbq areas with very nice views of the city and bay. And plenty of parking for at least 150 cars I'd say. The key of course is getting there early to snag the best picnic areas before everyone else does.

the largest picnic areas (site A, B, and C):

Site C is the furthest away from the parking lot but has nicest view. And windscreens (it does get windy here).
http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j1...2.jpg~original

A, B and C have large BBQs as well as smaller ones.

From this vantage point you can see the parking lot off to the distance on the left. From here we will not be able to keep an eye on our cars. :(

This is a smaller picnic area closer to the lot. It has no shade and not as good of a view.

Now about the parking lots - there are 2 sections that are the largest areas, adjacent to one another. Neither is very close to the main picnic areas though.

Here is the parking lot closest to the smaller picnic area.

Here is the other lot.

there are many other picnic areas in the park as well, but without bbq grills - this might work for a smaller, bring-your-own-food type gathering.

there are not too many good vista points from the parking areas, so it's not going to be easy to get any cool "SF as the background" type of shots of your car here on a crowded weekend. Maybe about 10 parking spots that would be ok for this. There were other cars there already so this is the best I could do:

and lastly, the lovely view from one of the observation decks. :)
