These are some Phots that we
took during our Outing (click on any photo to enlarge) |
 The Pulgas Water Temple  Looking up  Linda Swenson caught a photo of the crown  From Left to Right, Our Motley Crew John Roberts, Charlene Roberts, Dave Lemery, Linda Swenson, Myron Sabes  There was serious photographer there with a very serious, large format camera The cape on his shoudlders is a shroud that he drapes over his head and the camera to cut the glare so he can adjust focus He was nice enough to take our group photograph for us  John is not such a photo buff, but Charlene is. and he is very supportive. She talked him into sitting in the lavender, as Dave and I looked on. He probably smelled real nice afterwards. |
|
Dave Lemery has a camera that is
fitted to take infra-red photos Not much to look at in the camera, but once you get them on the computer, you can Photoshop some fun and whimsical things by assigning colors to the infra-red bands |

After Pulgas, We headed down to
Woodside for a bite at Buck's Restaurant |
It was quite a treat. None of the others had been there Buck's is an eclectic place (to say the least)  Memorabilia everywhere you look  The waiter was kind enough to take our group photo  From left to right, Dave Lemery, John Roberts, Charlene Robers, Myron Sabes, Linda Swenson |
|
All in all, I think everyone enjoyed our outing We need to plan more... |
| Below, these
were the directions I posted to the Pulgas Water Temple in Redwood City and then stopping afterward at Buck's Restaurant in Woodside for a snack |
|
| The following describes how to get
to the Pulgas Water Temple, where to meet,and then how to get from there to Buck's; |
|
| Pulgas Water Temple is quite easy to find Head North on 280, Take Exit -29, Edgewood Rd and TURN LEFT - West TURN RIGHT on Canada Rd and head North for just under 2 miles The gate to the Pulgas Parking Area is on the left. |
 Click on any of these photos to open an enlargement  |
| The parking area is funny shaped and it is hard to predict how full it will be Find any place you can and we will gather at the Sign near the parking lot entry |

|
| I propose
that we meet after Pulgas to reconnoiter a very interesting place for a snack Buck's Restaurant in Woodside |
|
| Getting to Buck's from Pulgus is really quite easy. Just head south, right, on Canada Rd Ride for approx. 5 miles to the Intersection with 84 |
 |
| There is a 4-way stop
intersection with a right turn ramp Go right turn ramp and immediately on the right side is a bakery and Buck's Restaurant 3062 Woodside Rd Parking can be tight, but hopefully in the middle of the afternoon, it will be OK |
  |
| Buck's is an eclectic place that has been a landmark for many decades. It is terrific fun and also has good food. I have not been there for 10 years, so we will have to see the protocol about ordering and seating |
