Hosts Gordon and Alison Lee
We started bright and early at Mini of Steven's
Creek with 21 minis. There was a group photo of all of us holding our
donation for Toys for Tots. Huge THANK YOU to everyone for loading up the
collection barrels with toys for the kids! And Thank you to Mini of Steven's
Creek for offering breakfast and swag.
We headed up Interstate 280 for a while and then
taking the back-roads through highway 84, where the conditions were foggy and
slippery. On highway 84, there were 2 hairpins and lots of
twists. We saw joggers, walkers and even a large bicycle group who waved
at our mini convoy. As we approached highway 92, the sun started to
stream out through the clouds and our run became smoother.
Driving on 280 traffic became congested as we merged
from highway 380. We were able to keep together on highway 35, until we
came to the beach by the Great Highway in San Francisco. Someone
blurted out "windmills, just like in Solvang". Two windmills
and the infamous Cliff house.
When driving on Geary Blvd, we became separated
by the traffic lights. As we approached Mini of San Francisco, all of the
Motoring advisors came out to greet us as we drove past Mini of San
Francisco. Thank you to Mini of San Francisco for offering the grand
prize swag for our giveaway.
Past the San Francisco City Hall, we were able
to see the following: Sales Force building, Transbay terminal, San
Francisco skyline, and the Bay Bridge, to name a few. As we
approached the edge of Chinatown, we were able to form half of our group.
Even though we were separated by traffic lights and stop signs, we all had
fun.
As we headed towards our last resting stop in the Marin Headlands, we managed to come together as one unit when we met part of our group who had taken the scenic route. We took a group photo and we conducted raffle prize drawings. The lucky winner had won a Mini Penny skateboard.
