Date: Oct. 17 Time 11 AM til we poop out or 10PM, whichever comes first. Directions: From the 880 south of Oakland get off on 29th going SW. Turn right on Ford, right on 23rd Ave, and left on E 7th St. This should curve around to the right and become Embarcadero. Turn left on Dennison St. and cross over to Coast Guard Island. Basically, everyone who's driving needs to tell the security people they are there for Chief Warrant Officer Gow's picnic at the Gazebos. They'll need to show driver's license, valid registration and proof of insurance. Bring stuff to BBQ , as well as side dishes, and other stuff like frisbees. Oh, and you might want to bring some beer. I'd suggest being prepared for any type of weather.
