Wrong intro, right guest! Matt Leffert from Jack London Park on museums, arts, poison oak & more!
Matt Leffert from Jack London Park Partners wasn't running on a trail at Jack London State Park long enough to come to the Sonoma Spiel podcast. He told us who this Jack London guy was (evidently he owned the ranch that became the park, but turns out he was also a world-famous writer and adventurer) and why the park that bears his name is really multiple parks in one.
During the conversation we cover Jack and Charmian London, their innovations in farming and their fun parties and events on the ranch, where to go hiking, why pigs get their own palace, how to get poison oak (or how to avoid it) and how to participate in the upcoming trail challenge.
We also cover the wonder that is in-state tuition for UC and CSU universities and learn about New Mexico chiles which are a very important part of being a New Mexican.
Like all of the Sonoma Spiel podcast guests, Matt Leffert takes on real Sonoma visitor questions. This week he takes on:
Where’s the post office?
I’ve heard that there is a walk from Sonoma to Fort Ross called the Camino de Sonoma. Is this really a thing?
I put on Shakespeare plays and would like to find a spot to host some outdoor plays in Sonoma. Got any ideas?
My name is Asya and my friends and I bought sonoma valley tasting passes. We were wondering if we still had to call and reserve spaces at each place or if we could walk in? What is recommended that we should do? Thank you!
Can we watch the winegrape harvest?
