Cowboys and cowgirls…

 

If you're beginning to plan your summer vacation time around the 2018 SASS Western Regional / 24th Chorro Valley ShootOut (Aug. 8-12), I thought I'd offer a list of things you or family members might enjoy prior to, or following the match:

 

PLACES TO VISIT:

Hearst Castle: The elegant mountaintop home of William Randolph Hearst - and incredible place to visit and enjoy.  Tours are available and you can register for them at:  hearstcastle.org  - You need to book tickets ahead of time. (The trip to Hearst Castle is a beautiful drive along the California coast and is 36 miles north of our range.)

 

Cambria: Here's a great artsy village to visit. Lots of wonderful restaurants, antique shops, and stores of all types. (Cambria is 22 miles north of our range).

 

Elephant Seals: Hundreds of elephant seals - young and old - call a stretch of beach their home. The site is about 10 miles north of the town of Cambria and it well worth the trip to see them in the wild.

 

Wine Tasting: California’s Central Coast is very well known for its great wines. San Luis Obispo county has over 280 wineries (www.visitsanluisobispocounty.com/wine-country range).

 

San Luis Obispo: Here's an incredible town to visit. Great for sightseeing, walking, shopping, eating, and taking a visit to our local Mission San Luis Obispo de Tolosa, founded in 1772. San Luis Obispo is also host to Cal Poly University, so the town caters to young folks as well as tourists. Thursday night is Farmer's Market night and exceeds the typical farm produce to also include music, food, crafts, and lots of fun. San Luis Obispo is 10 miles south of our range.

Lastly, if this is your first time with us, please attend the Wednesday evening “First Time Attendees Welcome” dinner event (burgers, etc).

 

Hope to see you in August...

 

Best,

RR

And if wine isn’t your thing, there are over a dozen micro and craft breweries within a 30 mile radius of the Chorro Valley range. If anyone wants recommendations I will be more than happy to oblige.
