Shi '10, Miranda Poett '10, Kevin Jung '11,
and Wes Harting '11) and nine horses to
Montana De Oro for the spring Equestrian camping
trip. Lisa, an experienced
equestrian, added a new element to the
camping trip by giving a crash course roping
lesson and sharing cowgirl stories around the
campfire. Sunday afternoon, students rode on
the beach in an eerie, misty fog and then had
glorious views on Monday's mountain ride.
The Garden students, Lily Brand '12,

Olivos on Wednesday afternoon. Farm owners
Glenn and Merrill toured the group and
explained the process of extracting oil by
using a still to steam and separate out the
oil before it's added to any number of the
products they sell at the farm. The students
returned to campus with sachets of lavender
that should scent their bureau drawers for at
least 10 years.

Indugu played alternative rock for
several interested students. Using acoustic
and electric guitar, as well as harmonica,
the two-member group played several songs.
Next Tuesday evening, Alexis Kidd '08 and
