Martyn,
If I knew you were coming out for that event, I may even show up... just

All the best,
Jeff

>>As for forest: that depends on what type. The coastal range of the

>>Ventana Wilderness area. Inland from San Luis Obispo and NE of Santa
>>Maria on the eastern side of the Los Padres Nat. Forest are a couple
>>of wilderness areas that can be pretty great depending on season and
