Thanks for the post, Suza. One correction, though. To paraphrase the famous quote by Mark Twain, “The reports of my ‘legendary’ status have been greatly exaggerated.” Other than that, I do promise an informative and entertaining time for all who attend, especially those who have yet to experience this wonderful preserve that the OVLC has safeguarded for future generations.
Lanny, would you also consider doing a hike at the newly restored meadows preserve?
To the legendary Lanny,
Alliteration justifies exaggeration!
(I think Mark Twain would understand!)
Lanny IS legendary…..
that’s NO exaggeration!
alliteration justifies accuracy!!
Lisa,
I’d consider doing a hike pretty much anywhere anytime. Why don’t you call the OVLC at 649-6852 and put in a request for one? I don’t know what they already have planned in the way of intrepretive hikes on the meadow.
Lanny

Hello Lanny, Tom Siebold forwarded this to me. Good to hear news of you. Karen and I have recently moved back down to Santa Barbara, so we are in the neighborhood. Be fun to catch up. Blessings, Kerry
Hmmm,
How about an edible mushroom hike? There are still many to be had.
Thanks
