[CINC] Great day hike on Santa Rosa!

[TARA BROWN]

Yesterday, the Captain Jimmie piloted the Island Adventure to ESCI, Santa Rosa, 
and San Miguel to drop off campers for the holiday week-end.

100 commons going
50 commons on the way back

We had ten day folks for Santa Rosa, and I led six people to the Torrey Pines.  
I told everyone how fortunate we are to have this experience, since the dock is 
almost complete (the beach landing is a thrill!) and the Vail and Vickers lease 
is almost over.  Catherine French said there are still 300 elk and deer on the 
island, but we didn't see any on the ridge.  Afterwards, Captain Jimmie drove us 
deep into Painted Cave --- and he turned the boat around inside the cave!

Best wishes,
Tara Brown
