Event Description

Dillons Beach/Lawson's Landing

NO BOVINES along the seawall :)

A casual beach getaway, $70 for the weekend... pricey, but whatcha gonna do? No hook ups or electrical available. Well you could share a site and split the difference. The Lawson village is on its last legs since the state will be taking over, sad... many of the old trailers have been moved already.

I have reserved site 3-5 along the seawall (water view of Tomales Bay) for myself , Gene and Mike. The seawall is located a short walk from the store/bait shop and pier. You can fish for fish or rock crab off the pier, 1 day fishing licenses are available at the bait shop. You can dig for clams along the seawall at low tide too. Sometimes people will sell their catches of Salmon and Oysters... so the potential food options could be fun. You might be able to hook up for a fishing excursion too (I'm not sure about that) You can rent a boat or bring your own... even a kayak :) Potluck dinner up in the air

I still need to work on bypassing that one particular glass of wine that seems to have the hangover. PM me if I need to send anyone a personal apology. Things got blurry just after dark.

It's always nice to see old friends and make new ones at the same time. Not a bad venue. Thanks Bruce for putting it all together.

Comment by Bruce on August 23, 2015 at 11:46am: Allison catch ya on the next go around, don't be a stranger!

Thanks Regis... glad you and everyone else made it, it was a great time for me, just wish Sundays didn't turn on me so quick for the need to rush back... apologies to anyone I didn't say good bye to... I plan on doing this again in 2016, see many of ya next month :)

Comment by westywoman (Melissa) on August 23, 2015 at 6:54pm: I took the easy way home. All is well that ends well. See you next time! I had a great time and the troubles on the way home in no way diminished it. Cheers!

We did not get to say goodbye to everyone...we kind of left at 11am then headed to Bodega Bay for clam chowder and crab sandwiches at Spud Point Crab before heading home,
Melissa hope you got home OK...what happened?
Rick & Liz hope to see you even if you folks no longer own a VW!
Cheers Ya All and keep in touch!

Clam chowder and crab samiches... so jealous!

Comment by regis101 on August 24, 2015 at 7:45pm: Ok so its been a day and a half and I believe I'm thinking I'm thinking more clearly.

Was I behaving myself? Anyone get into trouble? Who was pouring them cocktails anyway? That was some party, uh, I think? Now I'm thinking I'm not thinking too clearly. Daym.

There's always next month, eh?

Comment by Randy January on August 24, 2015 at 7:49pm: Haha, you were fine when you were hanging out with Jamez and I. Can't speak for everyone else ;-)

Sorry I didn't get a chance to pick with you. Next time, huh?

Comment by Bruce on August 24, 2015 at 7:51pm: You were scholarly, no one died or was arrested... it was a great weekend. Unfortunately Melissa got towed home, that part not so good.
