Marin A.C. Dipsea BBQ location map

HERE is a link to the ariel photo above of Stinson Beach State Park and the location of the finish of the Dipsea. Marin A.C. will have a BBQ for members and guests inside the red circle as I understand our plans

Look at the photo in the LINK (because it is larger and can be zoomed) and the more centered parking lot in the photo. Near the left side of the lot is a parked red car. If that car drove forward about two car lengths it would occupy the place where our BBQ will be in the area of sparse grass. Look for a red canopy set up in that area and all the nice, youthful, fit Marin A. C. members. Have a great run and come enjoy our Barbeque. There is a cost for the BBQ of $15 I think.

Note: you can drag the photo in the LINK or zoom in on what you want to get closer to. In fact, you can drag the photo all the way to Mill Valley or visa versa to see much of the Dipsea course.
