DAF Fly-in to New Cuyama 3/31-4/2/2023
DAFers arrived the day after a early spring storm on a cool sunny day in New Cuyama. Four planes and four cars brought 15 DAFers to the valley. We started with a drive to Condor’s Hope olive farm and vineyard , for a tour and tasting. We had to ford a swollen stream to reach our destination. That evening our happy hour was in the Cantina at Blue Sky Center and dinner at the Buckhorn restaurant .
On Saturday we headed to Carrizo Plains National Monument to look for some wildflowers. On the way we stopped to acquire a shovel and hoe to help Tim, a stranded Brit, to extract his stranded car from deep sand in the park. He was shuttled by DAFers into park and late in the day we heard he successfully extracted his car. In the Carrizo Plains National Monument we enjoyed a picnic lunch amongst antique farm equipment and enjoyed seeing wildflowers throughout our drive. Afterwards, we headed to Sagebrush Ann
