Mendocino Mushrooming 
December 8-10, 1978 
One of the most popular Academy junkets 
is the annual mushroom hunt with Dr. and 
Mrs. Robert Orr. At the suggestion of many 
members who have been on previous trips, 
this fourth annual repeat will leave a day 
earlier, allowing more time to explore the 
beautiful Mendocino Coast and its abundant 
mushroom hideaways. We will leave from 
the Academy at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, 
December 8, and travel by chartered bus to 
Mendocino where we have accommodations 
at the Little River Inn. We will return to the 
Academy by late Sunday afternoon. The 
cost of $85 includes transportation, motel 
on a double occupancy basis ($32 single 
supplement), and two box lunches. Break- 
fasts and dinners are extra. Reservations 
should be made through the Travel Office 
at the Academy. Call (415) 221-4214, 
Ext. 2tT.
