Three days of hunting, three packs of hounds: Red Rock Hounds, John Auborn’s Kingsbury Harriers and Paradise Valley Beagles of Arizona, Ridgecrest is 7 hours south of the kennel on Rte. 395. Horses to haul down Thursday, return Monday the 15^th. This is low altitude desert country with huge elevations into surrounding mountains. Joshua trees, prickly pear – very different from our territory and warm in January. This trip was a huge success last year. Hosted by John and Donna Auborn.

Annual Masters meeting January 25 and Masters Ball January 26. A great opportunity to shop (after New Year’s sales are on!) and we always do two nights on Broadway. Last year we saw Carol Burnett – 4 rows back, center stage – what a treat! Followed NYC with a trip south to hunt with Rita Mae Brown’s Oakridge hounds and watch the SuperBowl over hunt breakfast.

Lou and Sylvia Fascio have invited us back for another year. Plan to haul in Saturday AM and hunt at 11:00. That night Lou will host a magnificent black tie dinner at Bruno’s Country Club. Hunt Sunday morning at 10:00 and haul home that evening. Remember Lou’s mantra: Diamonds and Cleavage, Diamonds and Cleavage, Diamonds…

This trip is a dream come true: Let Lynn haul your horse, you fly into Palm Springs (or Ontario) and hunt with Santa Fe hounds the 22^nd, golf and/or shop the 23^rd, hunt again the 24^th, then dress up and enjoy the Santa Fe Hunt Ball at the sumptuous Indian Wells Country Club in Palm Springs that night. Sunday sit under the tent, eat lunch and watch the Grand Prix at Indio before you fly home.
