I talked to Bob Thomas last night. Our date is set for Saturday, July 11th at 12p. He takes groups of 8 or 16 (???) So we may have a bit of a problem if we have more than 16 folks sign up.

I'll give you all the address then we can just meet there and wait for everyone to assemble before we go in. He said the tour takes about an hour. So afterwards we can all go to a restaurant and eat lunch together. Is anyone familiar with Arroyo Grande and can give us a good place for a group to eat?

Or maybe you all would prefer to bring a picnic lunch and we can all find a nice park and eat outside???
July 11 at 12 noon works for me. Count My My wife and I in. Please.

Ken @Dizisdalife I would be glad to drive you or you and a friend if you care to trust my driving. One more adult would fit comfortably in my care for a total of four. I went up there earlier this year, so many animals it won't hurt to walk through again. I'll bring my camera this time, the phone camera is okay, but not as good. @Tom you are way inland, I just go north on I5 then 101 north. It is a beautiful coast drive north of LA, from San Diego to LA not so much a scenic drive.

Where do you pick up the 101? I'd be coming across the 126 through Piru and Fillmore to get to the 101.

What if I pushed you around? Come on Cap'n. Don't want you to miss out on this one. Heck we can take turns pushing. I'll volunteer for all the downhill sections. :)

I would love to meet David in person. I'll help push too if someone else can drive him there.

Hi @Tom, I spent a good look at the map last night. We could meet there where 101 and 126 meet. We just need to sort out as place, maybe have breakfast then. Bob's place is a few hours further along. That could work out well. It's always good to have work, but I hope you are free from work that day.

Since Tom has offered to push you, I will be your nurse. :). We want you to go David!!!!
I know, if you can't, you can't. We certainly don't want you to get sick.

You know Yvonne that I will drive you there. No worries.

My wife and I will leave our house 6 in the morning to be at yours around 9 AM so we can make it to the ranch around noon or bit earlier.
