Moto GP/4th of July weekend

[tazrox]

Anyone planning to go to Monterey this weekend, with the MotoGP race at Laguna Seca? I was warned about the traffic. What do you all think?

I'm considering heading down early Fri morning (ie getting to the site between 6-7am) but have yet to find a buddy (posting a thread in a few min).

I usually go to MotoGP but skipping it this year. Traffic is pretty bad in/around Laguna but it doesn't tend to get bad in/around Monterey proper until the races finish around 3-4pm.

I'll probably go down either Friday the 3rd or Saturday the 4th. I usually get there around 9am. I won't be able to get there at 6-7am.

I wonder what dive shops are open this weekend

That is why many of us are heading to the North Coast and avoiding the major South Bay traffic jams.

I know a group going down sat to dive lovers3 and I'll be down on sunday for some boat diving on the Sanctuary.

I was there last year and it wasnt too bad. The early morning dive schedule is not compatible with moto partying so traffic was light.

So no more 4th of July plans?

Traffic on the way to Monterey was light this morning, but it looked pretty heavy in the afternoon.

How was the vis? Hoping to go on the 5th at this point

Yesterday's 20ft vis at BW was much better than last week's 5ft at McAbee. Are you planning to dive Monastery again? I'll be stuck at work on Sunday, so have fun and good luck with the afternoon traffic!

I think ill be going to very north Monastary tomorrow. A site a friend of mine has named Kates Neckline, but if so I have to stop by the Dive Shop first since I need air.

While getting our tanks filled, Chuck called James at the dive shop who told us there were 4 spaces open at Lobos. Thats where we did two dives. Was team 13 again. Traffic was not too bad. We left a little after 2.
