BABCOCK RANCH WILDERNESS ADVENTURE
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15TH
BSGAC MEMBERS ONLY
Cost: $21.50 per person
Join your friends from the BSGAC for a two hour open air bus tour of the famous Babcock Ranch. This area, soon to be developed, is an opportunity to see all kinds of native wildlife, beautiful forests and wetlands before development begins. You will be accompanied by a naturalist who will describe all that we see on the tour as well as give us a very interesting history of the ranch. This tour presents a rare photo opportunity. It is just a short ride to the ranch from Burnt Store. The 90 minute bus tour begins promptly at 10 am. Plan to arrive by 9:30 am. (You will have time to see the museum and gift shop before and after the bus tour). If you wish to stay for lunch after the tour they offer casual dining on premises at the "Gator Shack".
