On Friday we get on the boat in Ventura Harbor and go to Santa Rosa Island. Once there we backpack to Ford Point and camp on the beach. Saturday is a free day, but I have planned a strenuous 12 mile hike for those interested. Sunday we backpack to the harbor where we started our journey and wait to be picked up by the boat.
