A Tribute to Glen at Stillwater Cove

Carpool at the pullout for Gualala business directory just north of bridge at 9:25 and at The Sea Ranch Lodge parking lot at 9:40. Hikers with County Regional Park passes should drive. We will be remembering Glen Forbes today as we gather round a bench in his memory that has been added overlooking Stillwater Cove. Those people who want to can say a few words. Afterwards we'll hike the interesting bluff section of Stillwater Cove and then return back to our cars. We will drive then to the day use area and park.  We will hike through the beautiful forested canyon, cross a small stream, then up along the ridge until we reach the old Fort Ross schoolhouse and then through the Canyon and down to the Cove for lunch. After lunch we'll return to our cars.  Dogs allowed on leash and hiking sticks helpful for a few steep spots and river crossing. Parking in the first section could be a challenge as there are only room for about three cars so we may have to drop people off and do a shuttle.
Leaders: Mary Sue Ittner and Bob Rutemoeller

It was a fitting tribute to a beautiful man in a beautiful place.  Mary Sue's words were especially touching.  It was a lovely hike which started with drizzle and ended with sunshine.  Glen, you are missed.
