 Meet at 10:20 at pullout for Gualala business directory and at Anchor Bay (west side of Hwy 1) at 10:30.  We will turn in at Alder Creek Beach Road (mm 22.48), then turn directly left and park on the road that parallels Highway One. Hike starts around 11. Mary will lead us to a nice view point before we make our way to the beach. Walk north as far as we can and return. We will eat our lunches somewhere along the way. This is beach walking, but it's a moderately low tide so hopefully we will be able to walk on wet sand.
