Thats a pretty urban intensive route there, which may or may not be what you're after.

For the more "wild scenery" inclined; I'd hit up Muir Woods, Stinson Beach, Bolinas, Tomales and Dillon Beach, then you could cruise up to Guerneville and visit Korbel or a couple of the other wineries on the way back to civilization.

 

gonna have a hard time finding that one (is it the tower with all the big goldfish?)

I think you meant Coit Tower ;-)

 

V. Sattui winery on 29 is pretty sweet. One of the last places that does free tasting, great wines and they have an awesome deli where you can grab snacks to have while you chill in there park-like area. Really nice place. Neibaum-Coppola is also really nice. Bring cash.

 

stinson beach, or pt reyes? pt reyes is a relaxing place. great views and good seafood. and dcmp of course.

 

just stay home

 

umm, I didnt know any of these places were in the northbay

 

BTW pm Bushido, he can seriously write a book about northbay dinner/winery drives, hes got em all maped

 

Stinson Beach or Point Reyes National Park

 

Checkin out citysearch. Maybe Tomales Bay for oysters. There's a place maybe near Stinson Beach that serves up a mean Abalone sandwhich. Anyone know of this place?

BTW, can I make it to Healdsburg spend some time and make it back to SF in a reasonable amount of time?

 

 

3 year bump?

 

Too bad you picked the same weekend as the North Nevada Rally

Also stay on the lookout for this years 6th annual Redwood Rendezvous road rally adventure drive and Campout coming in September.
