Parking + more information
- There will be two types of parking available: in the day-use area, by the entrance: this costs $8/car and is just a short walk to the redwood grove, where the event will be. This is recommended. The other parking is just over a mile West on Sir Francis Drake Blvd. — a pullout at Devil’s Gulch; this parking is free, if available (it fills up pretty fast), and requires you to talk the mile back on the shoulder of Sir Francis Drake.
- In addition to the above two options, we have 20 spots at the redwood grove, which are all reserved for QL readers + staff. If you have a car and are able and willing to take a carpool of people to the event, contact evan AT quietlightning DOT org — we may have an extra spot or two at the redwood grove in exchange for your chauffering!
- The grove has a slight chill to it at the beginning of the day. We’ll be setting up starting at 10am, so if you arrive early you may want to bring a light jacket.
- Food & drinks: We will have keg beer available by donations, courtesy of Lagunitas, and food will be available for free in a potluck-style. If you can, please bring something to share; if not, please feel free to take of the bounty. We had a great spread last time! Alcohol is permitted — you can bring a cooler, etc. Please be prepared to help clean up after the event, as we want to keep the park clean!!
- We will have limited seating (about 30 folding chairs) — if you definitely need a chair, please let us know: evan AT quietlightning DOT org. Otherwise, we encourage you to bring a blanket or the like to sit on — you can see pics of our event in the redwood grove back in 2015 just below, to give you an idea of what to expect:
