Meet at 9:20 at pullout for Gualala business directory and/or at Bower Park at 9:30 to carpool. The final carpool spot will be at Ten Mile (Cutoff) Road and Eureka Hill Road at 9:50. Joyce Nugent will lead us to her house. She only has room for 4, perhaps 5, cars so car pooling is essential if very many people come. The hike starts in the back of  her house. Go through the meadow to a path that leads to a swimming hole at the Garcia River. Continue on this private road through the community area passing interesting out buildings including a studio, winery and an outdoor pizza oven. Keep going until you reach the creek on a logging road; continue on up a rather challenging hill. Then down the dirt road back to the house.  After walking this loop we will drive to Frog Song, Sandy Scott's amazing garden, where we will have an opportunity to explore all the special features. There will be a lot of inviting places in her garden where we can eat our lunches.
