Meet at 8:30 at pullout for Gualala business directory and at Anchor Bay (west side of Hwy 1) at 8:40. We will carpool to Hendy Woods State park and begin the hike at approx. 10:00am from the Day-Use Area. Hendy Woods is one of our State Parks that is slated for closure this year.  This park contains some AMAZING old growth redwoods that are truly a sight to see.  We will meander through the trees past the "hermit hut" and loop back to the Day-Use area for lunch either on the river, in the field or under the trees depending on weather.  The rain held off.  It was a perfect day and we had the park practically to ourselves.  We even think we saw a leprechaun or two. . .
WARNING:  This is a longer drive than we normally do, but I promise if you go you will not be disappointed.  Expect some elevation change.  Walking sticks are not required but might be useful.
Leader:  Harmony Susalla

  1. Thursday Ramblers,

    Thank you for letting us join you! It was a beautiful outing! We loved seeing the Hermit Huts and learning about him. It was great meeting you all and spending time with you! We'd like to send you some goodies for your next outing as a way to say "thank you". We're not like Brownie Bob, we're more like peanutbutter Brad, chocolate chipper Karen, or 7 layer bar Matt. Let us know where to send them and maybe your preference.

    Happy trails,
    Brad and Karen Stocking
