Group Field Trip to Sonoma

"The grapes on a score of rolling hills are red with autumn flame. Across Sonoma Mountain wisps of sea fog are stealing. The afternoon sun smoulders in the drowsy sky. I have everything to make me glad I am alive. I am filled with dreams and mysteries. I am all sun and air and sparkle. I am vitalized, organic."

- Jack London


Sue has suggested a fabulous field trip to add to our Jack London theme - a visit to the Jack London State Historic Park in Glen Ellen/Sonoma. sights include a museum, the fire-burned ruins of the Wolf House, hiking along the Beauty Ranch Trail, and picnic facilities.
