Before you get there you have to watch out for these yahoo's. As well as other traps.
  Two of San Mateo's "Finest". They wait for their co-worker directing traffic,
to stop traffic when it gets heavy so people get stuck on those rail road tracks,
 which they will gladly site you for, at $500 a pop!

 There WILL be lines.

 But you can talk with some neat people, This is Pilar who was 
sitting next to some equipment and waiting for her friend.

 There are usually things on fire!

 Along with some cool vehicles!

bad parents.

 Wildlife! (well wild to us city folk! ;) )

 Mini cupcake and muffin vehicles!

Don't mind the "human" filling.

 Oh NO! The mini-cakes are a LIE!

 Some cool dudes with cool gitars, this here is
