Left Lodge at 8:00 after breakfast, loading luggage and a couple of photos. Drove south on 41 about 40 miles and then headed east on 145 just north of Fresno. From 145 we took 99 north (just barely made it onto 99 as Paul whipped it sharpley to the right after almost missing the exit) until we got to 152 and headed east. We saw several Raymond Roads, pistachio trees and tomato harvesting just before we got to Los Banos. We took a bio break just before Los Banos. On 152 we headed past San Luis Resevoir and over mountains towards Monterey. We thought we were on fire but it was John munching on corn nuts. We had a lot of crosswinds going over the mountains. We picked up 156 in Hollister after passing Casa de Fruta stand. After Hollister we saw a lot of agriculture - tomatoes, soy beans, onions (lettuce or beets). We arrived in Monterrey around noon and walked down Cannery Road. We had lunch at the Fish Hopper and did a little shopping. We drove over to Carmel-by-the-Sea and did the 17-mile drive around the peninsula and Pebble Beach. We drove back to the Marriott Courtyard at San Francisco Airport. Paul and Lynn drove over to Airport Van Rental to return the van. AVR dropped them off at the airport car rental. They took the air train over to the terminal and the called Courtyard to pick them up. Some people walked over to Chili's for dinner and others rested and watched Texas beat Texas Tech.
