Regarding your question about the best route for our trip next month — I checked the maps and the coastal highway has construction delays near the bridge but the inland route adds about twenty minutes. I think we should take the inland option because the scenery is better and we can stop at that diner you mentioned. Let me know if you want to adjust the departure time to account for the extra driving. I can also look into whether we need any permits for the campsite.

You asked about how the scheduling for the volunteer event is coming along — we have eight people confirmed so far and I think we will get a few more by next week. The space can hold up to fifteen comfortably. I reserved the room from 9am to noon and ordered coffee and pastries. I still need to confirm the audio setup so if you know someone with a portable speaker that would help. Let me know if you think we should send a reminder email to the group a few days before.
