Monterey Rock & Rod Festival (21 June 2025) - Cellphone Photos

On the 21st June 2025, my parents and I went to Sand City, CA to see a Ford vehicle at a Ford dealership. Unfortunately once we got there, we found out it was already sold. We headed for Monterey, which was when we came across the ongoing Monterey Rock & Rod Festival at Custom House Plaza. I took photos with my cellphone. I hope you enjoy viewing my photos!

Please note, while I do like seeing vintage vehicles, I am not a vintage vehicle geek, and neither do I know much about it, so the photos aren't going to be labeled in any detail unfortunately. 

Message from the Photographer: While I try to post cellphone photos in a timely manner, unfortunately Long COVID is wrecking havoc on my health and energy levels. I have had to stop the experimental medication my doctor gave me due to poor tolerance of the side effects.

Message From The Photographer: Unfortunately this past month was just horrible for me with Long COVID, and I was bedridden for most of it. The photos were delayed due to that.

After Lindsay Wildlife Experience, we went for lunch, before heading to Dinosaur Hill Park in Pleasant Hill, CA. At Dinosaur Hill park, it was two minutes up a few steps and we were greeted with gorgeous panoramic views of Pleasant Hill, Concord, Walnut Creek, and Mt. Diablo.
