This is an absolutely gorgeous setting! (Check out douglasridge.org). Given the time of year it shouldn’t be very cold but pack for rain (just in case). There a quite a few hotels/motels within a 20 minute drive of the range. Another nice thing is Costa has been here many times in the past so there is no wasted time adjusting COI for unknown range/environment issues.
