Meet
at 10:05 at pullout for Gualala business directory and at Anchor Bay
(west side of Hwy 1) at 10:15. The hike will start at 10:30 at Highway 1
by Curley Lane. There is only room for about 3 cars on Highway 1 by
Curley Lane so if we have more we will need to drop off hikers and leave
cars at Moat Creek. Curley Lane is a dirt road that passes through
pleasant scenery (green meadows, ponds, cows) making you forget where
you started until you see the lovely views of the ocean on the return.
This is a short hike, sometimes windy, mostly level but some up and
down. If weather permits you can bring your lunch and eat at the picnic
tables at Pelican Bluffs after the hike.
