Salt Point

I missed this week's hike so this report comes from Mary Sue and the photo credit goes to Bob.

Cold, but beautiful today at Salt Point. The trails were a bit wet, but there was no complaining. We had our lunch out of the wind in the warmth of Gerstle Cove.

Trash & Animal Rescue

It was a sunny day in Annapolis.  6 people showed up for the hike.  Collectively we picked up LOTS of trash and recycling (as is sadly often the case with road hikes).  Along the way we encountered a loose puppy which required contacting the owners to assure his safe return.  After the hike we lunched at Nancy Dew's home: Lilith, where she does her priestess training.  Over lunch we learned of her chicken crisis:  Guadalupe had escaped and Nancy was unable to catch her.  After a strategy session involving m&ms and Bob's recommendation of covering her with a towel, we commenced with Operation Chicken Catch.  As we formed a body barrier we closed in on dear Guadalupe and Ginger did the honors of the cover and lift.  After that we toured Nancy's property which host a seasonal stream providing lovely sounds and waterfalls along the way.

Curly Lane with Lunch at the Beach

It was a beautiful sunny winter day.  We finished the hike with lunch at Cook's Beach. 

Timber Ridge Road

After a night of rain, we started the hike down Timber Ridge Road in the mist and ended with sunshine at the amazing and lovely Posh Squash.  Some of us had lunch at 2Fish Bakery.  

Hearty Hikers

 

Despite it being a drizzly day we had 12 hikers complete the close to 5 mile trek to Soda Springs Reserve in Annapolis.  7 of us opted for eating lunch at leader Jim's warm, beautiful and dry home.
