Come for a stroll with Grant and Tal and Matt! We’re heading up to Big Sur to do a 10 mile backpacking meander. We’ll head up on friday night and camp on the beach and have a leisurely (pancakes?) saturday morning before heading into the redwood forest. It’s wildflower season! It’s redwood season! It’s babbling brook season! It’s learn to backpack season! We’ll hike out sunday morning and hit the road as soon as we can so we can be back in time for a shower and dinner before the week starts. If you’re looking for some relaxed backpacking, some open air sleeping, some book reading in the outside, some experience backpacking, some yummy food with some smiley people, come hang out with us!
