WELL 2004 Oysterfest

Heart’s Desire Beach
May 8, 2004
With (peoples) off having fun in Paris, (wiggly), (gower), and (axon) stepped up and organized this year’s fest at lovely Heart’s Desire Beach in Tomales Bay State Park. (peoples) did come back in time to help a bit with getting it together. It was a clear, beautiful day, with only a little fog.

As always, my feeble mind misplaces names, so please let me know of corrections.
