Aaron - your message piqued my interest so I called the refuge. hard to get
a live person as it's managed by volunteers these days but left my name,
number and months i'd like to visit yesterday. they called back today
asking for a bit more information.
there is no walk in December.
Just call them - 562-598-1024 and listen to the prompts.
