3rd Annual Wine & Bocce!	10/14	10-3	Sonoma County	Christina Cragholm '97
Wine & Bocce Time to bowl away the last summertime blues! Join fellow Princetonians in the third annual wine & bocce festival. The Italian version of lawn bowling is the perfect activity for a warm autumn day in the midst of wine country harvest season. We'll start our day with an (optional) tasting at Silver Oak Cellars, one of the finest Cabernet Sauvignons around. It is an early tasting and touring appointment at 10am, but those who make it up to the northern end of Sonoma County early definitely get a treat! To fit with our Italian theme, at 11am, we'll get a special tour and tasting at Ferrari-Carano's "Villa Fiore". If you haven't seen this winery's landscape or tasted its Chardonnay, you're missing out. By 1pm, we'll head to nearby Pedroncelli, where we'll take over the bocce court and picnic tables for a catered box lunch. If you want to attend the Silver Oak tasting, please add an additional $10 per person to your total payment (you will receive a complimentary glass). If not, the rest of the day is $23 for members and $28 for non-members. Please send checks made out to PCNC to Christina Cragholm '97 by 10/7/00. Directions: Take 101N to the Canyon Rd. exit in Geyserville. At the offramp, turn left back under the freeway and then look for the small Silver Oak sign. Turn right and continue until you reach 24625 Chianti Rd. For Ferrari-Carano, at the Canyon Rd. offramp in Geyserville, turn left back under the freeway and continue on that road until it "T"s. Then turn right and follow the signs to Ferrari-Carano at 8761 Dry Creek Road.

Angel Island Hike (or Bike)	10/15	10:30-5		Dewey Wilmot '93
A MODERATE 5 MILE HIKE UP AND AROUND ANGEL ISLAND Angel Island is a large, beautiful, green island in the middle of SF Bay just north of Alcatraz. The island is laced with numerous hiking only and hike/bike trails. The views throughout are spectacular and there are several historic sites to complement the natural beauty. Our hike will take us to the top of the mountain and around the south shore. There are numerous bail out options for shorter treks and you can take bikes (road or mt.) and explore the trails and roads on your own. To get to Angel Island take the 10AM Angel Island Ferry from Tiburon Ferry Terminal or a Blue & Gold Ferry from Pier 41 at Fisherman's Wharf. Allow for an earlier start from SF to get to the island by 10:30. We will meet at the small visitor's center just beyond the ferry dock. Bring a lunch and 1-2 litres of water. You may also want sun protection. Cost for the ferry is as follows. The Tiburon-Angel Island Ferry is $7/adult, $5/kid 5! -12, under 5 free. The Blue & Gold from SF is $12/adult, $6.50/kid 6-12, under 6 free. Bringing a bike is $1 extra on each ferry. These prices are round-trip and include the admission to the park. The boat ride itself is worth the price. Ferries return from Angel Island every hour at 20 minutes until 5:20 PM. My plan is to end the hike in time to catch the 4:20. For more info on getting to the park goto http://www.transitinfo.org/Outdoors/Angel_Island.html. The exact schedule for the Blue & Gold Ferry will not be published until 9/2. See you on the trail!
