We'll start with a hike (an easy walk, no hiking shoes or poles needed) to Carpinteria Bluffs & Beach with its tide pools & tar pits, then trip around (and back & forth between) Islands Brewery, the Avocado Festival, Rincon Brewery & Giovani's Pizza, other great restaurants, etc. We'll let AMTRAK take us back to Simi Valley at the end of the day!

ALTERNATIVELY: Drive yourself and meet at the Carpinteria station around 11:32a, or look for your hiking friends on the beach-front trails, along Linden Ave, and nearby breweries.

AND: You may be able to book passage from other start locations, e.g. Chatsworth, Van Nuys, Ventura, (but Not Camarillo), etc...
