[Scpg] hike SB->Quail Springs->Ojai 1/25->2/5

[Colin Leath]

Friends, I'm looking for one or two others to join Mike T (www.ammonitedesign.net) and I on a walk from Santa Barbara to Quail Springs Permaculture Farm & Learning Oasis (quailsprings.org) through Los Padres National Forest.

(A visit to Pine Mountain Buddhist Temple [www.pinemtnbuddhisttemple.org] may also be possible.)

We will leave SB on 1/25 or 26, arrive @ QS 1/30 or 31 and possibly leave for Ojai on 2/1 or 2/2, arriving in Ojai around 2/5. 

If you'd like to walk part or all of the way, please let me know. We'll take it easy: 8-12 miles/ day, but trail conditions could be poor. We can share equipment. And we can meet at Tri-County Produce to provision ourselves and walk from there.

Perhaps this can become an annual learning and sharing pilgrimage.

Also, if we could spend a night in your yard in Ojai or SB at the end/beginning of the trip, please let me know.
