No this area was not, and a great park to visit. This is on the north side of the mountain range.

I just wanted to post a big congratulations and thank you to those who put this meet on. I hear there were about 270 cars, and everyone had a great time as usual. Organizers (Central Coast Chapter), sponsors, trophy constructors, and contributors of all kinds make this happen. For me it's the highlight of the year. Great people, great organization, great location, and nice clear weather. The waterfall was happening, but it wasn't muddy. Perfect!

Thank you to all who made this happen!

The first raffle ticket number announced for the raffle car went unclaimed... hmmm.... this might be a case of “snooze you lose.”
