Thanksgiving Gaviota Wind Caves Hike and Potluck Dinner!

THANKSGIVING HIKE AND POTLUCK DINNER!

WHERE: DIRECTIONS TO TRAILHEAD:
Here is a Google satellite view of the location where we will meet to start the hike. This is the start of Hollister Ranch Road near Gaviota State Beach. Just before you would enter Gaviota State Beach, you make a sharp turn to the right and the parking lot is just at the top of that short hill.

WHEN: Meet at trailhead at 10:00AM on Thanksgiving - November 26

We will hike up about 500 feet from near Gaviota State Beach and explore the caves and wind tunnels in the ridges above. We will stop at the main Wind Cave this time, so this is shorter than my usual Gaviota Caves hike.

Some rock scrambling and agility required. Light colored long pants are recommended. Moderate 4 miles round trip. Bring a snack and plenty of water.

POTLUCK THANKSGIVING DINNER!

Regular hiker Martin Pattison is kindly hosting a Potluck Thanksgiving Dinner at his home after the hike! Please bring food to share!

Their house is at 26 Mendocino Drive in Goleta, near Dos Pueblos High School. Here it is on Google Maps:

I am guessing the Potluck will begin around 1:30 to 2:00PM. That allows time for the hike and for people to run to the store or to their refrigerator to get last minute things. Last year it began around 1:45.

NOTE: NO DOGS, PLEASE!
