  Wednesday, December 2, 2015, the West Volusia Audubon is sponsoring one of its premier annual events, a St. Johns River tour with Blue Heron River Cruises, and you are invited. As a special treat, the boat is reserved completely for us and the conversation will lean to birding. It is on a first come; first served basis. As of this moment they have 22 signed up and the boat holds 40. So there is still room. The cost is $25.00 per person. It's short notice to get your money to Eli. But if you show up, and there is still room, you can pay on site. 
  Please arrive at Hontoon Landing Marina, 2317 River Ridge Road, DeLand, between 3:00 and 3:15 PM. The boat will depart at 3:30 PM and return at 5:30 PM, or a little later.
  Please do bring binoculars, cameras and any snacks and beverages.
  You are encouraged to RSVP to me as soon as possible and make your check payable to "West Volusia Audubon". Please mail it to:
  Eli Schaperow
  902 Sweetbrier Drive
  Deltona, Fl. 32725
  It is short notice so you can RSVP to me at Roger@RogerFulton.com here and we'll try to reserve a spot for you so you can pay on arrival. But it is on a first come; first served basis.

A little rest and back to Beresford Park. A total of about 8-10 miles depending on the group. Helmets and water required. Adults only. Meet at Roger’s Jeep.
