Wilder Ranch Hike, Sunday July 17th

Hi All,

As Lucy previously posted, we are planning on hiking in Wilder Ranch off Highway 1 outside of Santa Cruz on Sunday, July 17th (a link to the directions is provided in the last posting).  This hike is one of the hikes in the Monterey Bay Trekkers series, so scouts who participate will earn the patch for this hike.  Our meeting time will be at 11:00 am in the parking lot at the visitors center.  We have arranged for a private tour of some of the ranch buildings and facilities, which date back to the late 1800's.  More info regarding the park can be found at:  http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=549 .  

We have been given a limited number of car passes which allow entrance to the park for those who are driving without paying the normal $10 entry fee.  Carpooling will help us ensure we have enough passes, so if some of you can make your own arrangements to do so, that would help.  Please sign up for this event on the blog and indicate whether you plan to drive or carpool so we can ensure we have enough passes.  We'll make sure the passes are available at the entrance to the park so drivers can get them before going through the gate.

We also recommend you all bring lunch since we will be there from 11:00 am to about 2:30 pm.  We'll take a break to have lunch when there is a good spot and everyone is ready.  As mentioned in the last posting, part of the trail follows high cliffs, so parents must walk with their children.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact us at the email address on the right hand side of the blog page.

Happy 4th of July!  Hope to see you all on the 17th.

Best regards,

Al
