 Meet at 9:50 at pullout for Gualala business directory and at 10:00 at Anchor Bay (West side of Hwy 1) to carpool and start at Point Arena City Hall at 10:30. Walk the new section of Point Arena Public Lands to the end and return. This is shorter than our usual hikes which will give us a lot of time to linger and look at the views of the ocean, the rocks, the Arena Cove, etc. This is mostly coastal grassland so there isn't much elevation change, but the ground is uneven and there are gopher holes like we find in the Stornetta Public Lands. Lunch is optional, but we hope many of you will join the leaders who plan to have lunch after the hike at the Rollerville Cafe. I had already called them to tell them there would be an unknown number of hikers coming for lunch on that date so we felt we should keep that part of the hike and drive there (which isn't very far) after the hike.
Leaders: Mary Sue Ittner and Bob Rutemoeller
