Departures
We're not sure who's joining us for the entire time or part of the time. Come for a little or as much time as you wish. Join at the start of each day or find us later. Steve Beckley and I are still working on locations and times in the morning.
So if you're not staying in Woodland (that is, if you're coming from the Bay Area or Sacramento or from north of Woodland), we're going to let you know where and when we'll be after our early morning sessions in the Woodland area. We'll also be reachable by phone (323 377-7565).
You know where Dave's staying (the Hampton Inn) and because our chief guide, Steve, lives in Woodland, the town will serve as our basecamp for our trip.
As this is an experimental trip, we're not setting an ironclad itinerary, with either times or locations. We will stick to the basic plan each day, though. For now, the important consideration is that we all try to meet up before we leave Woodland after breakfast.
