TOPANGA EARTH DAY CELEBRATION INFO:

***an ADDED plus to the day is.... the LYRID meteor showers are peaking that evening (AND NO MOON till 1AM)... and so it might be cool to visit Inn of the 7th Ray for a quick desert... and then hit a mountain-top in Topanga with a few chairs / binoculars / libations and a couple ghost stories!!!
