John and Bev Levy will be leading a trip to Ashland, Oregon for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. We plan to fly out on Friday in time to check into the hotel, have dinner, and see a play that evening. Each person or couple should plan on ordering their own tickets for the plays they want to see that weekend. As soon as we know who is going, we’ll block hotel rooms, and we will send out airport information prior to the trip. Below is the list and schedule of available plays.

Day Tripping!
I'm trying to put together some day trips during the year as well. Some suggestions we’ve had so far are Columbia (the only town in the country that is also a state park.), Los Banos for fried chicken, and Harris Ranch for lunch. These are all good suggestions, but I am open to any others. I would really like some new or original suggestions. If you have any ideas, or want to lead one of these trips, send me an email at sk3979@gmail.com.
Announcing the First Trip of 2009
MDPA WHALE TRIP 09
March 12 thru 15.
We will depart Concord and fly direct to Mexicali. Here we will clear customs and fill up with “cheap gas”. Then it is off to Mulege and the hotel Serenidad where we will spend the next two nights. Saturday we will depart Mulege and fly West for about 30 minutes and land at Laguna San Ignacio. This is a long and fairly wide sand runway with great parking. We will walk about 100 yards get in the pangas and be off to pet the whales. If you have never done this you must make this trip. It is just amazing to see the mothers bring their babies up to the boats so we humans can touch them!
After this amazing experience it is back to the Serenidad for the Saturday pig roast.
Sunday is a return trip to KCCR. Serenidad to Mexicali where we fill up again and then to Calexico where we clear customs and then back home with great pictures and memories.
Contact Vince Siebern at tydow@verizon.net if you want to go on this trip.
Costs: Hotel Serenidad is $85 to $105 per night. Panga and guide for whale watching is about $40 per person. If the weather is no go on the 12th we can have a back up date of 27th (just after Easter) or Easter weekend.
