Lodging, Transportation & Map for CNPS Council Activities
San Luis Obispo, hosted by SLO Chapter – Friday 9/6 to Sunday 9/8
LODGING  - updated 9/3
Lodge at the Meeting Site (recommended) - A unique opportunity for us to hang out Friday and Saturday and maximize our time together. Bring a musical instrument or whatever you'd like to share. Rancho El Chorro (a.k.a. Camp KEEP) is part of San Luis Obispo County's environmental education center. It offers rustic cabins and shower facilities in a natural creek-side setting. All accommodations are shared - up to four per cabin. Each has bunk beds with mattresses, BUT you must bring a sleeping bag or other bedding. If traveling with a partner, you'll be able to book a cabin just for yourselves. (Indicate your preference when you register.)
Thursday Night? - We are working on homestays for you early birds!

If you'd rather make your own arrangements...

TRANSPORTATION 

Tips for using map on right
- Use your mouse wheel to zoom the view!
- The enlarged map has more features. For instance the map spots include a "View in Google Maps" link, which will show you a photo of the location, if available.

Field Trip Maps
