I will be holding a short GPS class at 8 a.m. sharp at “The-T” for anyone that needs a little help setting up their GPS. Please be somewhat familiar with your GPS before you show up so we can get through the class smoothly. Bring some kind of chair with you for the class, you’ll need it.
Please check the NEWS page on the website Friday night to make absolutely sure the meet is still on. Santa Barbara can be a little fickle, so I’ll be checking the weather one more time tomorrow night just to make sure.
Directions to “The-T”:
Hwy 101 to Hwy 154 (San Marcos Pass)
North on Hwy 154 for ½ mile to Foothill exit
West (left) on Foothill – under overpass – continue a few hundred yards to Via Chaparral
North (right) on Via Chaparral - up ¼ mile to first right that takes you back over Hwy 154
Once over Hwy 154 look to your left and you’ll see the cars.
Last minute reminders:
1) Bring the cable for your GPS.
2) Check NOTAMS before you drive out just to make sure you’re not making a trip for nothing. http://tfr.faa.gov/tfr2/list.html
