JULY 31ST- LA PICNIC LOCATION CHANGE!!

[Guest guest]

Houston, we have a problem. I've been dealing with Darren at Rustic Canyon and

it

seems he was not aware they could only have one large group per day at the park

on

weekends! He had put my name down next to the group of 40 and said a lady named

Jan would be contacting me to take my deposit and make final arrangements. I

didn't

hear from her, so I tried to reach her several times and she finally called me

today to

tell me the bad news. I'm so disappointed because the location is so prime and

the

amenities unequaled for a park.

Ok, no problem, make lemonade...I thought. There are lots of

nice parks around here. So I go check out one...it's on a hill and parking is

really bad.

Then I go to another...the only picnic area left is practically in a ravine..you

would

need pack mules to get future hippies to the bathrooms.

So now I'm afraid the reservable picnic areas at all the nice parks will be

booked up by

now...but, I'm still going to check out more tomorrow.

I know it wouldn't be nearly as much fun, but how would you all feel if we met

up at a

restaurant if this gets too complicated? By the way, I did try to get a

different day at

Rustic but every single Saturday and Sunday is booked up until some time in

September.

Sorry about that...please stay tuned for updates.

A restuarant works too. Did you try Rancho Park on Motor in West

L.A.?
