Carpool at the pullout for Gualala Business Directory just north of bridge at 9:15 and/or at the Sea Ranch Annapolis Road Business Center at 9:30. Hang tags needed for non Sea Ranchers who park there to carpool. We will drive to Kelly Road and park at Soda Springs Reserve. Note: the last 3 miles are on a dirt road. We will then walk back uphill on that road for less than an hour and then return to the park, explore it and have lunch there. This 49 acre Sonoma County Park since 1994 (and known locally as Kelly Park) has lovely old growth redwoods and a stream running by, plus it's dog friendly with a toilet and picnic tables. From the Parks website: "The park is a perfect place to stop among your travels. Rest or hike under the fragrant shelter of redwood groves, while enjoying the soothing sounds of running water from the adjacent Soda Springs Creek. Amenities include picnic areas, restroom, barbecues, and hiking trails." This park is not so easy to find as there is only one way to get to it and its not a main road.
