STORNETTA AND HUCKLEBERRY PICKIN'

 

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 Rollerville Junction 2 miles north of Point Arena at 10:20. Cars can park along highway 1 facing south. We will be hiking a T pattern. Starting down the road (aka Huckleberry Row) to the Loran Station we will first head south to some spectacular rock formations and then retrace back to the Loran Station and this time we will head north for some more great views of the lighthouse (weather permitting) and our coastline. After taking in the views we will return and eat our lunch near the blow holes (or find a spot out of the wind depending on the weather). Eventually we will retrace our way back along "Huckleberry Row" where those who want to may stay and pick huckleberries can and others can return by the road to their cars. Carpools should be done in a way to accommodate pickers and non-pickers. This is a relatively flat hike with only minor elevation change.

STORNETTA - HWY 1 TO CYPRESS ABBEY SECTION

Meet at 10:20 at the pullout for the Gualala business directory and at 10:30 at Anchor Bay (West side of Hwy 1) to carpool and start at the junction of Lighthouse Road and Hwy 1, 2 miles north of Point Arena at 11:00. We will travel the access road to the old Coast Guard Loran site (now owned by Mendocino Community College) turning left before we get there to enter that middle section of the Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands.

EAST SIDE WOODSY TRAILS AND HUGEL RAVINE LOOP

All photos by Bob Rutemoeller

Meet at 9:45 at pullout for Gualala business directory north of bridge and at 10:00 at end of Verdant View near Two Fish. We will leave as many cars as possible there and carpool to the end of East Ridge Road. Hang tags needed. Start hiking at post 101. Hike south along the trails until post 116, head down to the walk -in cabins and walk Pine Meadow Road to meet up with the Hugel Ravine to Seabird Road, turn right on Schooner Drive, left on Longmeadow, right on Timber Ridge and take the trail to the left as you cross Sorcerer Wood back to parked cars.  There is some elevation gain, both up and down, and a walking stick would be helpful. The trails are very pretty. You can bring a lunch or plan to eat at TwoFish at the end.  For those wanting to eat at TwoFish be sure to order in advance by phone: 785-2443.
