Driving Options: Some folks knock off 20 to 24 miles by starting from San Clemente: Check in & load your bags on the truck at the station at 8 AM, see everyone off @9, then drive south & park near Metrolink or the Carl’s Jr. in San Clemente... (see train options above & park for free in Irvine!)

BAGGAGE
:
Saturday the trailer will be ready to receive your gear when you check in after 8am. It will be waiting, locked, at the motel for you to unload when you arrive. Bring what you need but be reasonable! Everyone will be moving bags to find theirs, so a few small duffles are better than a big one.  
DO bring a folding chair for dinner - you don't need an ice chest: you can visit the Ralph's market 2 blocks away for snacks or beverages to share at our 'happy hour'.
Sunday the truck will LOAD from 7 to 8, get to Irvine by NOON & wait until A): the last rider picks up their stuff at the earliest, or B): latest until 3:45 PM after the 858 train rolls in -

SATURDAY EVENING we have a nice sunny lawn on the edge of the parking lot for our social time and dinner with a short walk to the beach after to watch the sunset @ 8:01.  When you roll in, check in, enjoy the pool or take a nap, then join the group at 4:30 PM for some Cosmic WimpOut,  social time and dinner delivery on Saturday evening. We can't eat in the pool area so again, DO bring a folding chair or be ready to sit on the ground. For those with dietary concerns, we will have Pizza's delivered (veggie & meat) and grilled chicken, salad and fruit and sodas -  There is a market 2 blocks east if you need to find extra/other food or beer/wine...
