Mileage 4.6

 

Curley/Pelican - rerouted again to Garcia River Rd.

 

Meet at 9:35 at the pullout for the Gualala business directory and carpool at Anchor Bay at 9:45 at the south side of town on west side of highway. The hike will begin at the intersection of Highway One and Curley Lane at 10:00. This hike was modified due to weather... and instead we drove to the end of Garcia River Rd. parked and walked the road up for 1.5 miles and back to the cars. Lovely road, lots of flowers even in this late date.

We will retrace our steps to the road and hike north to the "End of Trail" sign before turning around and walking back to Bruce's where we will have a tour of works in progress and eat our lunches.

Meet at 10:00 in back part of the Gualala Arts parking lot. We will hike to and throughout the Mill Bend property and then back behind the Arts Center, down to the river trail and back up to have lunch in GAC's picnic area.
