There a rite aid, Starbucks, Shells Gas Station, Asian Market. We'll meet at that parking lot there.

April 26, 2014
Saturday.
Time: 8AM ---> 10min - 15min wait time for those that come late.
Mission: Driving on San Felipe rd then Metcalf rd.
Ending meet: TBD
Road Conditions: Smooth. Minor gravel.
Distance: 15.1 mile give or take. 32 minutes give or take.

I scouted for a place for us to stop at the end of the destination before we say our good byes. I stopped at the motorbike obstacle course. As you exit out there will be a slight incline where it would scratch the bumper. Light scratch...I said nope. Drove at the end of Metcalf and made a right. There a parking near the park, however as you enter the parking lot there many deep holes where driving on it would surely scratch your bumper. I drove slow on it and still scratch the bumper *hard scratch from the sound* Instead of going right I made a left to drive and see. There is a spot on the right side that has some decent amount of room to park near a Tattoo parlor. It's paved. That looked decent.

I went back on Metcalf to go back where I was coming from. I saw another road that goes right. I drove that road down. Zero parking however its parallel to the freeway and it leads to a Sheriff training facility and a shooting range. No parking lot except for workers that work there.

Perhaps we could park on the side of the road of Metcalf. then decide to leave from there. There is a 101N/S on Bernal Rd. Right on Metcalf.

Overall, fun drive. Sad they cutdown some branches right before metcalf, Y-road. It looked good with the branches covering the sky and it felt more secluded.

Disclaimer: I don't check the the forum if anyone is coming.

If the parking lot is empty we're gone
