Tomorrow, Friday April 3rd, is the Grand Opening of our new kayak program at Don Pedro Land Base. The program will run from 9 to 11:30 am, and we will have kayak demos and serve free cookies and drink. There will be rangers there to show you how to get in and out of a kayak properly, as well as letting those interested take a 10 minute spin in the water.

Saturday, April 4th, is our Annual Member's Party open to all BIPS members. For the first time, we are inviting members to view the sunset off the Lighthouse porch, and offering rare tours of the lamp room, led by our Park Manager, Chad.
