[K6BW] Instructions to Olompali State Park - Field Day Location

[Bill Smith]

>From San Rafael, take US-101 North 14.1 miles to Novato.

Continue past Novato 0.5 miles.  North of Novato, on the right, look for the Marin County Airport.   On the opposite side of the highway, look for Olompali Park.  It is not particularly recognizable, except for the road entrance to the park.

Continue past Novato 0.1 miles, past the exit to Marin County Dump, visible on the north side of the airport on the right-hand side of Highway 101.  A turn-off to return to Novato is available, but traffic is usually too busy to venture a turnaround at this point.

Continue to the San Antonio Road exit, 1.5 miles.  Use this turnoff to make a U-turn and return to Novato.

Look for the Olompali Park exit approximately 0.75 miles on the right (west) side of the road.  As you reapproach the dump exit, Highway 101 bears right.  The Park exit is on the other side of the bend, on the right side of the road.  Approach slowly, the exit can be easy to miss.

Take the exit and park in the main parking lot.  We are located near the "milk barn", past the main buildings on the way to the Miwok Indian Village reconstruction.  From the parking lot, walk up the main dirt road past the main buildings.   Then follow the road, left, up the hill, and you should soon find us near the last major building.

Hope to see you this weekend!  We will be meeting at 6:00am to pick up tables and supplies.  We will then proceed to Olompali to set up stations and raise antennas.  We can use your help loading tables at the clubhouse.
