Garrett – Fantastic Pics!! Now that we have a talk thread about the ride, it’d be great if you could post them there and add any feedback!

Additionally, these are fantastic photos!!! Incredibly good quality and really do capture the essence of the ride. Thank you!

Neo — many small groups will head back, most likely san carlos west to bascom south. Ask around.
-or-
last light rail to bascom leaves santa clara at 11:39 and last light rail to mt view leaves about 11:45
-or-
youcan park your car in many validated lots in dt SJ for $3 and take light rail (for $1.75?) out to Dicks.
