Pt. Lobos State Reserve is one of the finest beach dive spots in Northern California.  Entry is walk-in down the (sometimes slippery) boat ramp.  It is limited to 15 teams of two divers each per day.  Reservations are required two months in advance on weekends.  Reservations are limited, so RSVPs are mandatory, and failure to cancel if you can't make it is a capital offense.

Parking is in short supply.  It is imperative that everyone carpool.

After we dive, we party.  See next item.

Chuck will supply swimming pool, hot tub, his world-famous sangria, hot coals, and a Wurlitzer jukebox full of old 45s.  Bring whatever you want to grill, a dish to share, and your own drinks.

You are welcome to come even if you don't dive. Please RSVP to triblet@garlic.com
