LONGMEADOW TRAIL/BLUFFTOP TRAIL LOOP

Carpool at 9:45 at the pullout for the Gualala business directory north of bridge or meet at 10:00 at Linda’s house (37677 White Barn). You can leave your food for the potluck lunch at Linda’s house [Note: Potluck canceled due to power outage]. Hangtags needed. Walk south on the trail between the highway and the Ohlson Ranch Center.  Cross the highway at Headlands Reach and take an immediate left on a trail off Headlands Close (mm 53.00). Upon reaching Longmeadow Trail follow it south and up hill. At a trail crossing take a right on Spur Close Trail.  This trail goes downhill almost to Spur Close in order to go around trees along a creek, then uphill again through a wooded area. Reaching a bifurcation, take the right hand fork down to the highway. Cross and walk Navigator's Reach to the Blufftop trail and back to Linda’s house, saying hello to the seals at Green Cove's Marine Preserve along the way. About 3 miles.
Leader: Linda Kennedy
