MBR started their drive to Santa Cruz at Chile’s in Seaside, then drove up Highway 1 to Santa Cruz, where we got off and stopped at DeLaveaga Park for a short break. From there, we took curvy mountain roads through the redwoods, eventually ending up at Cliff Drive in Santa Cruz, where we cruised along the shoreline and past the lighthouse.

From there it was a short way to Beeline Motor Club, where both regions parked and prepared for a catered German luncheon of green salad, German potato salad, red cabbage, bratwurst or bockwurst, sauerkraut, fresh fruit salad, and apple pie for dessert.
