Oysters, Cows and Wine! (Thursday, September 11)

Attention Tuesday Meanderers!

If you are at a loss for ways to amuse yourself on Thursday afternoon (September 11th), the Marin Agricultural Land Trust has room on its outing to the Tomales Bay Oyster Company to taste those bivalves (bring your own picnic lunch, too, plus water and wear shoes that can get dirty), then visit the Bivalve Dairy at milking time (no, they aren't going to milk oysters, claims, or mussels), and end up tasting wine at Point Reyes Vineyards. The tour begins at noon at the oyster company's location in Marshall (click here for a map and directions), and lasts until 4 pm. Cost is $35 for MALT members, $40 for non-members.

You can sign up via the MALT Web site (http://www.malt.org) under "Hikes & Programs", then go to "Hikes & Tours", click on "September", then scroll down until you find the outing. You can also click here to reach the Web site page for the outing. When you get to the outing description, click on the "Pre-registration required" link for the event. You can also call MALT at 415-663-1158 ext. 0 (if the receptionist answers before the automated phone system asks you for your party's extension, just tell her you want to sign up for that outing).

Dick Jordan will be going on the outing. He hasn't been to this oyster company or dairy before, but can vouch for the excellence of the Point Reyes Vineyards wines.
