August Night Hike

Hello everyone! It’s that time of the month again… TIME FOR A NIGHT HIKE!

This month we’re going to have a nice & easy moonlight stroll along Carpinteria Bluffs on TUESDAY, AUGUST 24, 2010.

We’ll be meeting at the Starbucks parking lot on Old Coast Road at 7:30 to carpool to the bluffs. Feel free to bring friends, dogs, and BEVERAGES & SNACKS. We’d like to make a bit of a social event of it as our energies won’t be consumed by trekking up mountains, etc. so please bring your favorite beverage and cookies, cheese, crackers as desired– it should be a beautiful night!

Please RSVP to cmgustason@gmail.com or reach me at (661) 332-7741 so we know who to expect. See you there!
