FISK MILL BLUFFS

Nhu, who is getting his PhD in mushrooms, helped identify the ones we saw.

This one is use for dyeing according to Nhu.

Meet at 9:30 at pullout for Gualala business directory north of bridge to carpool and at The Sea Ranch Lodge parking lot at 9:45.  We will park at Salt Point State Park at large pull out on the right past MM 43.20. Starting time is about 10:00. We will take the trail through the grass and then turn south. We'll cross over on the rocks by the first gulch and find the trail that passes Sentinel Rock. From there we'll  take the bluff trail south and hike this unbelievably beautiful bluff  for about an hour. Before we get to Stump Beach we will turn around and hike back. Walking sticks are advisable and good boots since there isn't much maintenance these days on the trails and there are some uneven areas and potential crossings.

Today we had special guest and friend of Mary Sue, Nhu join us from Berkeley.  We ate at the top at Sentinel Rock.  It was a diamond day -- sunny with very little wind!
