Guided TARANTULA HIKE + Classic Car Show + BBQ Dinner

In the fall, the normally nocturnal male TARANTULAS come out during the late afternoon looking for dance partners. Kooky Adventures wants to introduce you! A 2hr walk & talk is hosted by the folks at Restoration Oaks Ranch in Buellton is for all ages! We will catch a live wild spider, discuss it, let it do some spider-walking on our hands (for those who dare...), then let it loose into the wild again. If we are lucky, we will see pairs of *tarantulas courting!

.... But first it is the FREE annual CLASSIC CAR SHOW in Solvang!

🇩🇰 Downtown Solvang, famous as the "Danish capital of America", will be transformed into a classic car (and motorcycle) mecca as more than 200 pre-2000 impeccably restored, stock and customized vehicles of every make, model and type including hot rods, sports cars, muscle cars, vans, pickups, trucks, motorcycles, and other special interest vehicles fill the streets. Omg, they had me at "vans" 😂

(One of our Adventurers is actually a judge for the car show!) 🏆

Music throughout the day, a beer and wine garden, a Viking food bar.
All money raised goes to the Vikings of Solvang Endowment Fund, a 501(c)(3) organization. 🕊️

Lastly, we will cap the day with DINNER at AJ Spurs Saloon. Yeeee-haw! 🤠 🐄 🍖 🔥

CARS? (and my future Kooky-Kreep Van)
ARACHNIDS?
RIBS, STEAK, POTATOES amidst taxidermy & rusty farming equipment decor?

Hark, I think I hear "Koooooky" Kalling! ☎️

Yep, the usual Kook Out is a mish mosh of polarizing flavors + education. If people don't either love the ideas or are kinda off-put, I'm not Kooking Out properly.

Question: What's one of the great things about Kooky Adventures (other than the fact that it is a place to practice radical AUTHENTICITY and unapologetic SELF-CARE ?

Answer: You can join & leave the adventure whenever you'd like! Love cars; hate spiders? Cool. Come just for the cars. Visa versa? Just start your Adventure at the Ranch. Easy-Kook-Breezy! 🌬️ 🫧

If you plan to do all the activities, you may wanna bring a day-pack, water, SNACKS, and be careful not to get roped into a carpool if you might suddenly turn into an energy-pumpkin. Introverts, do ya feel me??? As much as I adore you guys and these adventures, I have to rest for 2 full days after these events.

This is widest gamut of different Adventures in one day we’ve done so far!! The LA Train Adventure was a close 2nd. Can't wait!

PS) If you want to Kook Out on your own for a bit, Ostrichland USA is in this neck o' the woods and could be a cool add for you. CLICK HERE FOR OSTRICHLAND. It was in running, but Car Show won by the Kooky Steering Committee vote. We welcome you to become a part of the committee! I post our committee meetings a couple times a year..... because WHY would a small MeetUp group need one, LOL.
