At 8:45am Maurice, Ted, Patrick and Murray took off from The Pavilions lot and drove the River Road (hiway 160) into The Cobra Experience at Martinez. Maurice figured an hour and a half drive would put us there for the 10am opening. We arrived there at 10:30 as the volunteer support staff were setting up for a 1pm opening and 2pm car show. Oops! We were greeted by Drew Serb, one of the founding members who, after hearing our sad story, took us into the back door of the closed museum and turned on the lights for our very special tour. WOW! This place is a must visit for any Cobra lover. they are open to the public the third Sunday of each month from 11 to 4 (June 21 this month). Maurice pleaded mea culpa and we assured him that his mistake would be kept quiet. Maurice and I headed straight home on 680 to 80 and Ted and Patrick did the River Road. Great day with great friends on a warm spring day.
