Hello, Kipp, Thanks so much for organizing this! I will get someone to give me a ride to Laguna Lake Park on Sunday. I'm staying with family members at a rented vacation house in SLO somewhere and there will be a couple of cars there, so if I can get a driver up that early -- after a wedding dinner-dance -- I'll do that, or call a taxi. I hope it's still OK for me to ride with you. I will be fully vaccinated as of April 12, and so are my relatives. The wedding stuff is all outdoors. I'll bring a lunch, etc., on the excursion. I think carpooling is safe as long as people wear masks and leave the windows open.

I will be leading a foray on Sunday, May 23rd 2021. We will start in the City of San Luis Obispo at Laguna Lake Park at 9am and end on the coast north of Cambria in the afternoon. > > The locations in-between these spots will be partially based on group interest and partially based on what the landscape has to offer.

In short: We need to carpool. "Carpool" is certainly a spooky word in these days of the pandemic, but many of us will be fully vaccinated by late May so hopefully the prospect of shared rides will not be a sticking point. The smallest number of cars will allow the largest set of destinations and taxa to be seen. > > Here's a link to a google signup form.
