Subject: Update and Additional Info about the Grow Food Party this weekend!!
To: growfoodpartycrewsc@gmail.com

Hey beautiful people!

I've got the info you need to get to the party site this weekend. Again, it's at a beautiful spot up in the hills where a small community of folks live. Definitely a paradise that you deserve to be "touched" by! I'm really stoked because I thought I wouldn't be able to go, but yesterday I found out I would have it free after all. Woo hoo! See you there!

*Right now I'm thankful for the dawn chorus and the miracles that it brings - of feeling inspired, connected and that anything is possible.*

Love,
Devin

Here are the initial details for the party:

Grow Food Party at Dharma Ridge

Saturday, May 2

Here at our Intentional Community in the Soquel Mtns., we have just finished terracing parts of our beautiful old garden with 45 yards of top soil and are ready for planting, installing irrigation, and adding artistic creative touches.

The party starts Saturday morning, May 2, at around 8:00 and will continue into the evening. Camping Saturday night is welcomed. There will definitely be music in the evening (hopefully with Dianne Patterson who is confirming) and a feast. There will be munchies during the day but pls. bring a lunch for yourself.

Bring a shovel and/or steel rake if you can (and a wheel borrow if that is easy).

Directions coming in a follow up e-mail next week.

With Appreciation, Peace, and Abundance ~

Here is the update from Kevin:
Hey Good People: I am really planning on people bringing a shovel and/or metal rake of thier own!!!

DIRECTIONS TO DHARMA RIDGE:

FROM HYW 1

Exit Bay-Porter and head away from Ocean (toward mountains) on Porter

Set odometer ar zero whn you exit and Porter turns into San Jose-Soquel Dr. (“Old San Jose Rd.”)

Drive 7.5 miles and start looking for “School Bus Stop 400 feet” sign that comes up soon after (within the next .5 miles.)

Turn left on Old Turnpike, 400 feet after you see the sign later

Take Old Turnpike until an ocean view opens up right where paved Old Turnpike makes a hairpin right around a little bluff with bench on it.

DON’T go around the hairpin.

Instead, GO STRAIGHT on the dirt road that is marked Dharma Ridge Rd.

At the one fork in the road take a right and follow the road until you crest a hill where you will see the ocean again and a statue of Genesha.

There is a big parking area down to the right just after you cross over the hill and start down

Give me a call when you arrive, or walk staight down the main gravel road to the garden past the Greenhouse on the right.

Go around 5 miles til you see the Summit Center (Summit Store) on left

Take the next right on San Jose-Soquel Dr. (“Old San Jose Rd.”)

Drive 2.5 miles and looking for “School Bus Stop 400 feet” sign.

Turn right on Old Turnpike, 400 feet later

(SEE ABOVE FOR THE REST)
