Hi All -- All the seats on the bus for the LA River tour are now taken.

If you'd still really like to come, just let me know, and we can  
arrange for you to drive along with the bus. If there are lots of  
folks who want to do this, we can arrange carpools.

I'll also lead a 3/17 public carpool tour with HiddenLA, and will send  
out the announcement this weekend if you'd like to be on the e-mail  
list.

Best--


Jenny

Join UCLA's First Lady, Mrs. Carol Block, for an up-close look at the  
past, present, and future of our famed (but oft-misunderstood) Los  
Angeles River on Saturday, March 2. The half-day tour will be led by  
expert guide Dr. Jenny Price, Research Scholar at the UCLA Center for  
the Study of Women and Friend of the Los Angeles River, and will  
include four stops between Los Feliz and downtown Los Angeles.

Round-trip bus transportation from UCLA will be provided. Water,  
fruit, and healthy snacks will be provided on the bus, and you are  
welcome to bring your own as well. The tour will include a short  
walking component but is not physically demanding.

Tour Details:
                         1st Stop: Glendale Narros (Los Feliz Area).  
Includes a walking area
                         2nd Stop: Marsh Park (Elysian Valley  
Neighborhood). Good area for lunch or a snack break
                         3rd Stop: Confluence (San Fernando  
Road/Riverside Dr. Area)
                         4th Stop: Iconic concrete river bed in  
Downtown Los Angeles
