Meet at 9:20 at pullout for Gualala business directory and at 9:30 at Anchor Bay (west side of Hwy 1) to carpool to Russian Gulch State Park. This is a LONG drive for us - approx. 1 hour 15 minutes to the north to get to our starting spot. This state park is slated to be closed on July 1st so we wanted to get a chance to experience it one last time. (UPDATE: Parks is NOT closing - yahoo!) In addition to being a longer drive than usual the hike may be slightly longer too. Take road 409 (north of Mendocino) to the east until the pavement ends and park there. Enter through the "Horse Camp" gate on the right and proceed to waterfall via the a loop. We had a bit of a mix up at the start with half the group taking the "usual" way and the rest of us starting from Road 409 but we met at the waterfall. Ice Cream at Frankie's afterwards was a special treat. THANKS BOB!
