Meet at 9:20 at pullout for Gualala business directory and at 9:30 at Anchor Bay (west side of Hwy 1) to carpool to Russian Gulch State Park. This is a LONG drive for us - approx. 1 hour 15 minutes to the north to get to our starting spot. In addition to being a longer drive than usual the hike may be slightly longer too. Take road 409 (north of Mendocino) to the east until the pavement ends and park there. Enter through the "Horse Camp" gate on the right and proceed to waterfall via the a loop.  This hike is a beautiful hike, mostly forest and there is a fair amount of hiking up and down so boots and hiking sticks are recommended. We plan to eat our lunch at the waterfall. Carpools in agreement can stop at Frankie's for icecream as a reward after the hike.
Leader: Harmony Susalla
TOTAL MILEAGE: 6.7
