May 6-8 we're planning a trip to Santa Rosa to visit Sturgeon's Mill. http://www.sturgeonsmill.com/ This sawmill was built in the early 1900s and is now a working museum, with the original steam driven equipment. We'll visit it Saturday when it's in full operation. Of course Santa Rosa is in the middle of wine country, with the Napa and Sonoma Valleys nearby, so wine tasting will be an option as well.
We'll have a block of rooms available at the Astro, https://theastro.com/ a renovated classic "Motor Lodge" decorated in mid-century modern. It's located in downtown Santa Rosa, with restaurants and attractions within walking distance. The Luther Burbank Home and Gardens is right down the street, and Juilliard Park is right across the street. We're working on setting up dinner at the Spinster Sisters restaurant for Saturday night, which is also just a couple blocks away. https://thespinstersisters.com/
More information and a sign-up sheet will be up soon. You'll need to reserve well in advance; information on that should be available next week.
Hope to see everyone there!
