WMF has thought about trying to 'crowd source' guides. So let's try one today. Please put your input into the comments and I'll compile into a guide. What pumpkin patches and/or corn mazes in the area that you recommend? I'll start with a few:
- The Tomales Pumpkin Lot
- The Nicasio Valley Pumpkin Patch
- The Petaluma Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze (legendary, especially at night)
Also, the WMF email newsletter is out for the weekend. Lots of news, events and weather to get caught up on:

Via PRNPS: "On Thursday Oct. 5, the National Park Service (NPS) will remove trash and chemicals from a former illegal marijuana grow site operation near Laguna Trail in Point Reyes National Seashore.
The operation will take place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Helicopter activity will be visible from Limantour Road and other nearby areas.
The historic marijuana cultivation site was first reported to park rangers on March 8, 2023. The site is located within the park’s 33,373-acre Philip Burton Wilderness."

“A person was reportedly attacked by a shark at the Point Reyes National Seashore on Sunday, prompting a multiagency search and rescue operation.
The Coast Guard received a report at around 10:40 a.m. Sunday that someone appeared to have been attacked by a shark and pulled underwater in the Wildcat Beach Area in the southern reaches of the Marin County park, according to Grace Patton, a public information officer for the Coast Guard’s San Francisco sector.
Four agencies deployed first responders to look for the missing person, searching by air, land and sea, Patton said. But as of 3 p.m. Sunday, they had still not located the missing person.“

Prepare yourself for a looming government shut down which will have an impact on the national parks (Point Reyes National Seashore), park workers and visitors.
"The lack of information has frustrated some business owners and workers as the government’s funding deadline of Sept. 30 ticks closer. Parks that were shuttered under President Barack Obama during a 2013 shutdown were largely left open but unstaffed by President Donald J. Trump during a shutdown five years later.
Now, businesses and mayors say they have little idea what to expect."

“The Inverness Foundation volunteers are removing highly invasive acacia from their property between the tennis court and Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in Inverness. Acacia are a terrible fire hazard, and many people are allergic to them. The branches will be chipped. Free firewood is available in the tennis court parking lot and at the intersection of Vision Road and Sir Francis Drake Blvd. Bring your chainsaw: some of it is pretty big. Once the acacias are removed, native trees appropriate to the area will be planted.”

Hi, if you get the WMF email newsletter, I made a big mistake today and said the Shoreline Harvest Festival at the West Marin School is this Saturday. It is not. It is actually October 14. I apologize for any confusion this may have caused (or will cause).
