Meet at 9:15 at pullout for Gualala business directory north of bridge to carpool and at The Sea Ranch Lodge parking lot at 9:30. Drive to the eastern entrance to Salt Point Park on Sea View Road. We will be joining our guest leader, Nhu Nguyen, mushroom expert from Berkeley. Nhu recommends that people who have it bring along Dave Arora's pocket mushroom guide, All That the Rain Promises and More: A Hip Pocket Guide to Western Mushrooms. Enter the park on the trail, turning right on the Plantation Trail when you come to it. This will be an unusual hike as we'll be stopping to look at mushrooms along the way so we will not cover as much ground as usual. Depending on the condition of the trail we will either retrace our steps or walk to Kruse Ranch Road, turn right and walk back to cars along Sea View Road. We will drive to Kruse Ranch Road and descend to Kruse Rhododendron State Reserve for lunch. This trail can be a bit muddy if we have a lot of rain beforehand. Boots and hiking sticks are recommended.
Leaders: Mary Sue Ittner and Nhu Nguyen
