The Last Blog?

.. well, at least before the RU; look for a valedictory summation afterwards!

Some directions to events in CV:

Joe/Kathie’s BBQ, for those who are coming into CV on Thursday, will be at their rental venue in the valley, that evening (5 PM on): see her invitation email. Head east on Carmel Valley Rd; Valle Vista is about 1.2 mi from CVL and .5 mi from Blue Sky Lodge/Acacia Lodge. Once you pass the Corkscrew Café (on your right) make a left turn onto Valle Vista Rd.

Community Church of Monterey Peninsula, where the Saturday blessing ceremony will be held at 12 noon, offers the following directions:
-----------------
The address is:
4590 Carmel Valley Road, Carmel, CA. Here are the directions from the church website:
One mile east of Hwy. 1 on Carmel Valley Road, on the south side of Carmel Valley Rd., just before you get to the Carmel Middle School, and right next to Rancho Canada Country Club. (Yes - where the sign says "PLAY and PRAY"!)

The church’s website is: http://www.ccmp.org/contactus.html

We could all meet at the CV Park lot around 11:15 AM on Saturday and go in a caravan – perhaps even doing some ride-sharing – but if you want to do your own driving, you now know the way. Maps indicate a 20-minute drive.

Hope you all remember that for anyone who just hates to see it all end, we are having a very informal open house up here in Boulder Creek on Sunday afternoon, August 1. It’s also a chance for those who have not yet seen our mountain forest paradise to come have a look, before you have to head for your various destinations. If you think you can do this detour, Mamma Wench would love to hear from you, so she can make sure We Have Enough Food!

As you are packing up this week, you can check this blog or other weather sources to see what you want to bring. And our RU Customer Service experts are available 24-7 via email for your last-minute questions or comments. Just contact The Wenches at
