Directions & Map

Directions to the home of Angela Vernon
160 Evergreen Rd. Bolinas, CA 94924

Notes:

These directions are truly the most expedient. While it may seem from the map that taking Hwy 1 through Stinson beach is more direct, that route is extremely curvy and narrow. ALL roads to Bolinas involve some curves, but Sir Francis Drake is the best inroad for people unfamiliar with the area, and coming from the South or East Bay.

Please allow plenty of driving time.  More than an hour, for certain.  It takes Rachel an average of 1:15 to get from Bolinas to Petaluma, and she is familiar with the roads.  In addition, there are always many cyclists on the road on Saturdays, and the occasional horse-trailer or large truck to get stuck behind.  In these situations, it never pays to be in a hurry.

We highly recommend carpooling!  Aside from the pleasure of having company on the drive, it will help assure plenty of parking for everyone,


From North and East of Petaluma,

Head West on D St. in Petaluma, which will turn into Pt. Reyes Petaluma Rd.  Continue out past Nicasio Valley Rd.
Go straight at the stop sign next to the Graffiti Bridge (the bridge was purple upon our last inspection) following signs to Olema. The name of this road is Platform Bridge.
Turn right at the next stop sign onto Sir Francis Drake Blvd., again following signs to Olema.
Follow directions from *** below

From the East Bay,

Cross Richmond/San Rafael Bridge (I-580) and exit at Sir Francis Drake Blvd., immediately after the bridge.
Follow directions from * below

From the South Bay,

Cross Golden Gate Bridge. Follow 101 North and exit at Sir Francis Drake Blvd. / San Anselmo.

* Follow Sir Francis Drake through San Anselmo.
Bear left after passing through San Anselmo to continue on Sir Francis Drake.
Follow Sir Francis Drake through Fairfax, past the San Geronimo Golf Course, and into Samuel P. Taylor Sate Park.  Upon exiting the park, continue on to Olema.


*** When you reach Olema, you will be at a stop sign, with the Olema Inn (a large white building) on your right. 
Turn left at this stop sign onto Highway 1 (Shoreline Hwy.)
Follow Shoreline South for 25-30 minutes.  You will travel over a very curvy portion of road followed by signs for Dogtown,  After this, there is another curvy portion, in which the only street sign is for a road called Horseshoe Hill (on right)
Upon exiting this second curvy portion, there will be a large, yellow, diamond-shaped sign indicating a right turn.  This (an unmarked Y intersection) is the turn you want to take.  A sign will be there pointing to our wedding.
You are now on Bolinas Rd. (congratulations! - locals are so fond of stealing the sign for Bolinas that Cal Trans has given up replacing them)  If you notice a large lagoon (Bolinas Lagoon) on your right, you have missed the turn onto Bolinas Rd.  If the lagoon is on your left, you know you're on the right track.
Turn Left at next stop sign and go over rainbow painted bridge.  There will be another sign here for our wedding.
Turn Right at next stop sign onto Mesa Rd.
Turn Left onto Overlook Rd. (just past the fire station, sign often obscured by trees).
Turn Right onto Elm Rd. (the first paved right turn)
Arrive at Evergreen Rd. (on left, after large teal house - sign is on wood fence)
Angela's property takes up the entire left side of the block. 

Please, only park on Evergreen if you cannot walk long distances.  Otherwise, there should be space to park along Elm. Rd.  There will be parking attendants available to guide you.
