Meet at 9:30 at pullout for Gualala business directory north of bridge to carpool and at The Sea Ranch Lodge parking lot at 9:45. Drive up Kruse Rhododendron Rd to Plantation and park at Plantation Farm Camp. Weather (muddiness) will dictate our route but we will walk up from Plantation and either enter Salt Point from the top Kruse Road connection or walk on the up the road turning right on Seaview and walking along it until we come the the trail access. We will either make a loop or do a down and back. We will be on the look out for mushrooms but without our mushroom guide we will not be picking any. We will drive to Kruse Rhododendron State Reserve for lunch after returning to our cars. Boots and hiking sticks are recommended. Light rain does not cancel this hike. Dogs are not allowed on the Salt Point trails.
