Good morning and please drive safely everyone! We look forward to seeing you all at Middle Harbor Shoreline Park (2777 Middle Harbor Road, Oakland, CA 94607).

Line up to the side to allow the designated vehicles to lead the route. They will be in the front. We will then head towards the Bay Bridge. If you reach the exit for the park after 12:15pm, then continue straight to the Bay Bridge and get behind the caravan.

At the Bay Bridge go through the toll. If you have a FastPass that will be charged. If you don’t have a FastPass, just drive through. There will be no toll attendant. The $6 toll will be mailed to your house based on the address on your License Plate.

Then we will head over the Bay Bridge to San Francisco. Please drive safely and follow all driving rules. We will go towards the Indian Consulate. WE WILL NOT BE STOPPING. WE WILL NOT BE GETTING OUT OF OUR VEHICLES. There will be NO stage at the consulate.
