Google Hosted Meet-Up: Muir Woods

Hey everyone!

I’m Brett, a designer at Google and fellow Local Guide here in the Bay Area. I’ll be hosting a photowalk at Muir Woods this Sunday, August 28th. Just wanted to kick off a thread to introduce myself to those attending (and received a confirmation email) so we can connect with each other before we meet up.

I’ll be posted up by the Visitor Center, wearing a teal Local Guides tee. Please try to arrive by 10AM so we can all get started together.

Can’t wait to see you all there!

Yep! There’s actually a shuttle from Sausalito (by the ferry) that runs on weekends. There are two (9:05 & 9:25) that should get you in by 10.

Here’s some more info

Hi there, I registered when the event was posted but as of yet have not gotten any kind of note. I actually didn’t even get a confirmation that I had put my name in the hat. Have all the confirmations been sent? Thank for your feedback.

Peace

So the park has had extreme traffic the last few days - with both parking lots filling up by 9:30, plan to arrive EARLY or to ride the shuttle into the park, which I believe is $15, but may be more.

It’s 5 dollars round trip on the shuttle: http://www.marintransit.org/routes/66.html

Will we need to pay an entrance feel? What will it cost?

I learned that there is no cell phone reception. Are we going to take pictures offline or how will that work? Also people should make plans to not have cell phone availability.

So bummed but it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to make it :frowning:

Feeling a bit sick as I woke up this morning, so taking it easy considering I have to travel for work tomorrow.

For those that are going, looking forward to see the photos! Hope you all have a GREAT time, and hope to be able to meet you guys at future events!

9:05 shuttle is getting pretty full!

$5 round trip, paid at the Visitor Center along with the $10 park entrance fee. 9:25 shuttle is the next available but it will fill quickly as this one did. See you all there!

Unless I somehow missed the bus passing me, I don’t think there was a 9:25. Sorry for missing the meetup, still going to go since I’m over here… Whenever the bus comes. Hopefully I can make another in the future.

Shuttles fill quick and are running behind, so myself and a few others are going to be late, I’m willing to bet!

Hey again!

Thanks to everyone who attended today— had a blast meeting you all. Muir Woods was amazing!

As promised: I’ve started a Google Photos album for us to keep all our photos together. Feel free to join up & drop in any shots from today. (Here’s hoping they’ll be a little better than mine, ha.)

Looking forward to the next bay area meetup! (Did somebody say coffee hop?)

Thanx for organizing @BrettP , it was quite a bit of fun! I’ve never seen Muir Woods from the elevated path. I am looking forward to future meet-ups hosted by local guides near and far. Peace TC
