I'm there every November. I tried to meet up with some people from UER but didn't get any takers on this last trip. Maybe this year will yield better results. I found a few spots of varying degrees of interestingness - mostly near the coast and Santa Cruz. I didn't look as hard around San Jose, since I was in Monterey and used to live in PG, so I'm more familiar with that area. I did a LOT of Ord as well as my annual trip to my favorite photo spot, Davenport. I missed the meet-up by only about a week. Maybe next time!
