National Park Service
druckerh@juno.com - August 4th, 2005
Years ago the peter strauss ranch was bought from the santa monica mountains conservancy. Prior to the acquisition, the ranch was opened to the public once a year for a weekend to pick citrus from the ranch trees, usually in July or August. Is there such an event this year? Thank you.
