My cell doesn't even do Petaluma/Point Reyes Rd. It doesn't kick in until the Petaluma city limits. There's no doubt that we did the right thing spending the night in Novato. A very good point.

So glad you didn't try it!! The road runs right next to Stafford Lake, isn't well lit, has lots of sharp turns and gets very wet and slippery in the rain.... plus large chunks of it (at least until you hit Petaluma/Pt Reyes) are a cell phone dead zone (on my phone, anyway.) Not place I'd choose to be when the water's rising and emergency response systems are overloaded! Great that Miriam had an easy time of it - bet you'll remember 511 in the future, though,huh? >>> To the west you can go through Novato and take Novato Blvd to the Petaluma Pt Reyes road to the D Street Extension into Petaluma (also about 40 mins extra) but it is dark, rural, and I had no way of knowing if it was even open. <<<<
