Once you reach Half Moon Bay, 92 will dead-end into Highway 1. Turn left on Highway 1 and follow til the next stop light. Turn right and follow this road to the end. The HalfMoon Bay State Park Beach is on your left. There is a $4.00 cover charge to get in but once paid, will let you in to any other state beach for that day. So, one could puruse the beaaches before coming to the GNU Picnic. Half Moon Bay is north of Sante Cruz and south of San Francisco.

(ie. drums, flutes, and anything that makes a noise) * Frisbies and other suitable toys. * CDs and tapes to play. unset and beyon. * Blankets and towels for swimming (it's gonna be cold though :). * Food. Bring something you'd like to grill. Also bring another item according to your last name. If your last name starts with A through H, bring cooked veggies or salad. If your last name starts with I through P, bring dessert. If your last name starts with Q through Z, bring two quarts of a non-alcoholic beverage. If your last name starts with anything else, bring a dragon to grill the food. (If no one brings a dragon, we'll use charcoal.) Note that there are some fresh fish stores in Half Moon Bay and there is also a fresh veggie stand on the road to the beach. So you could possibly pick up something to bring "on the way". Note: tabouli containing more cracked wheat than parsley is strictly forbidden! ----------------------------------------------------------------------
