We’ll leave late Saturday morning and drive along the PCH, spending the day at the beach before going to set up our campsite! Josh and Logan will cook dinner for us all and we’ll tell scary christmas stories. The following day, we’ll wake up and hike to the Santa Paula Punch Bowls for some fabulous waterfall views, before heading back in the late afternoon on Sunday for you to get a night of studying in! Come enjoy this transformative trip!
