Preparation and Directions
Where:
A private 13,000 acre private ranch
with a lake, mountains, and a vineyard in Healdsburg, CA
How
Do I Get There: Drive north from San Francisco for 2 hours. For
those flying in, San Francisco Airport (SFO) will likely be cheapest and
the best option for carpooling.
When: November 11-13, 2011 (yes, this begins on 11/11/11)
How Much: $140 per person total, includes 2 nights accomodations
and a tasty, healthy salad bar Friday night
What
Do I Need to Bring?: Your own food for meals on Saturday and
Sunday(and perhaps a little to share with others), athletic clothing,
frisbees, a bathing suit (indoor and outdoor towels are provided), cool
resources to share, and an open mind. The closest store is 50 minutes
away, so please plan ahead and bring everything you'll need.
What are the Accomodations Like?: We have rented the
main house and a guest house that sleeps 28 people with a combination
of bedrooms with queen and single beds. The house has all the towels,
linens, and kitchen equipment we will need, and a huge kitchen that should
be fully stocked.
What will the Weather be Like:? Temperatures in the 60s,
and the hiking trails could get quite sunny.
