Although I'm sure Los Padres will be nice (where is that, btw?), it will be so early there I doubt you will see much in the way of good wildflowers. This is a 50-year bloom in Death Valley. I saw so much desert 5-spot, I almost got sick of seeing it. I keyed out so many amazing plants -- super-geek. There were people actually kayaking on the main playa, we have had so much rain. It was just amazing.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Yeah, it is YOUR birthday, not theirs. Good luck with the convincing. If you do end up down in my neck of the (non-)woods, let me know. Twould be fun to meet up for a day or some-such. Los Padres sounds nice, too, though. Great part of the country. I would really enjoy doing a vegan camping trip. I go backpacking quite a bit and everyone else is always so curious about my food. It's a whole different part of the adventure. It would be nice to eat with like-minded folks instead of discussing my diet over every meal. No one ever lectures me about eating meat or dairy, though, after watching me hike each day. sara , fraggle <EBbrewpunx@e...> wrote: > los padres stretches in two chunks along the coastal range from santa barbara up to Carmel/big Sur too bad everyone here lives sooo far apart..it would be fun to have a vegan camping trip... gonna try and weasel my friends into going t oDV and Saline Valley after all, its my dang birthday Well, they (and you by extention) are really missing out.

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 Fraggle; I generally stick with the good old ethnic stand-bys when eating out here. Thai, Indian, etc. There are some tasty places here and I've found them very accomodating, probably because there are so many other restaraunts to choose from in town. There is also a great, tiny Mexican place I go to pretty often. Their veggie burrito sans cheese and sour cream is so tasty. There is a raw food place, but, since my body doesn't deal well with too much raw food, I have only been there once. I can highly recommend their veggie/fruit juices, though. Oh yeah, and that local sub chain I mentioned one time, which will make any of their subs with fake meat. That should give you some ideas to start with, and if you end up coming, I can provide more details on, say, the best places. sara , fraggle <EBbrewpunx@e...> wrote: > me too was just hoping to be pleasantly surprised... if i make it to Vegas, what good veganny places in that burg??? guess its time to start stocking up on the easily portable vegan foods... hopefully i'll be able to make it over the South Saline Valley road without any problems... cheers fraggle Actually, Baker has The Mad Greek, so really that's better...
