Hello: Are you looking for meeting location at UC Davis? We’re meeting at the Ruth Risdon Storer Garden on Garrod Drive. Full details are on the Walkin’ Boots webpage under the hike description.
I’d really like to go on this tour! Any one interested in car pooling? I prefer to be the rider and willing to meet driver most anywhere here in Sacramento area.
