Hello Model T-ers,

Our June 3rd GOLDEN GATE TOUR (Marin County San Francisco) is only 4 weeks away and it's shaping up to be an engaging three and a half days. Please send your tour fee in to reserve your spot and also have the Mill Valley Travel Lodge transfer your reservation from my name to yours. All contact information is within the Tour Flyer (attached below).

UPDATES:

Muir Woods National Monument has waved their fee for us and is arranging free VIP group parking for our Ts.

The San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park will be issuing our Ts a Special Use Permit so that they may be parked on their wooden pier among the tall ship collection.

The Presidio Trust who now oversees this 1,500 acre historic military base that protected the Golden Gate's southern flank is processing a Special Use Permit so that their docents may guide our Ts around this National Park's meandering lanes to its WW1 points of interest.

There is a fun cocktail mixer planed, a picnic at the beach, a great restaurant each night, country tours through the West Marin countryside, photo ops overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge, and a lot more to keep us entertained.

Please join us and get your tour fee to me and get your motel room reservation transferred into your name.

***Alexander Valley Tour Extension***
Please join us for 2 or 3 additional days touring in the wine country around Healdsburg. More info on the attached flyer.

Please email or call me with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and exploring these beautiful regions with you.

What I wouldn't give to be able to go on this tour. Just too far away for me. Cost more to GET THERE (and back of course) than
the entire tour cost!

Yes, There are still some spots available.
Just let Steven know you're coming, send him your $25 per person, and call the motel(s) and have a reservation transferred into your name (Mill Valley and/or the Anderson Valley Extension). See Tour Flyer. This will be a fun tour.
