Geo-hike, new Bruce Trail, and cross the south-limb of the Ventura anticline

PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU RSVP. YOU MUST RSVP TO HIKE WITH THIS GROUP, IT'S A LIABILITY ISSUE.

We will hike the new Bruce Trail at the Ventura Land Trust, plus some segments of the communication tower trail. Expect ~ 5 miles and ~1,000 ft elevaton gain. I'll stop here and there and say a few words about the geology along the route. There are great views of Ventura from the hillside. Dogs must be on a leash for the entire hike. Hike has no sweep. No guests, have them join.
