Santa Cruz Island 2009 (October 17-18, 2009)| The Boy Scouts took a boat trip to Santa Cruz Island. It was a 22 mile ride to the island from Ventura Harbor with plenty of dolphins to keep us company. A five mile hike on Saturday afternoon and a ten mile hike on Sunday morning were the main objectives. It was a great trip we would love to do it again. |
