CANCELLLED – Goleta Butterfly Preserve Hike, Feb 3rd 1100 am – CANCELLED

AS IT WILL BE RAINY AND THE BUTTERFLY PRESERVE ASKS NOT TO HIKE AFTER RAINS, THE HIKE AND LUNCH ARE CANCELLED. Carol A is arranging for a hike to the Goleta Butterfly Preserve Hike on Feb 3, 1100am. We will meet at the Ellwood Mesa Open Space & Sperling Preserve parking area, 7729 Hollister Avenue, across from Ellwood Elementary School (see map at: 7729 Hollister Ave, Goleta).  The hike will be through the Monarch Butterfly Preserve, then over to the bluffs for a walk along the beach.  Whether or not there will be a ton of butterflies, we will still have a nice hike!

Following the hike, we’ll have a late lunch at the Padaro Beach Grill, 3765 Santa Claus Ln, Carpinteria, CA 93013. Padaro Beach Grill has great food, spectacular views, friendly service and a family-style atmosphere. We can eat inside the restaurant or outside on the ocean side lawn.
