SALT POINT PRAIRIE

Meet at 8:45 at the pullout for the Gualala business directory north of bridge and at the Stengel Beach Coastal Access parking area at 9:00 to carpool.  Drive to the entrance to Salt Point Park on Sea View Road. Starting at 9:30 walk north on Seaview Road until you intersect Kruse Ranch Road. Descend on it until you reach the entrance to the Plantation Trail (Salt Point). We will follow it down to the Prairie and then return (uphill) to the cars. It could be muddy and there are steep stretches (up and down) so a walking stick and boots are recommended. After the hike we will stop at TwoFish for lunch where you can either bring your own lunch or purchase a sandwich there. If you call the day ahead (707-785-2011) and put in your order it will be ready when we arrive (around 11:45).

Meet at 9:45 at pullout for Gualala business directory north of bridge to carpool and at The Sea Ranch Lodge parking lot at 10:00. Drive to the entrance to Salt Point Park on Seaview Road. Starting at 10:30 walk north on Seaview Road until you intersect Kruse Ranch Road. Descend on it until you reach the entrance to the Plantation Trail (Salt Point). We will follow it until it insects the Prairie Trail, turn right and follow it to the Prairie where we will have lunch. There are steep stretches (up and down) so a walking stick and boots are recommended. If we've had rain by this time, this is a good hike to see mushrooms. After lunch we will return (up and downhill) to the cars.
