Trash & Animal Rescue

It was a sunny day in Annapolis.  6 people showed up for the hike.  Collectively we picked up LOTS of trash and recycling (as is sadly often the case with road hikes).  Along the way we encountered a loose puppy which required contacting the owners to assure his safe return.  After the hike we lunched at Nancy Dew's home: Lilith, where she does her priestess training.  Over lunch we learned of her chicken crisis:  Guadalupe had escaped and Nancy was unable to catch her.  After a strategy session involving m&ms and Bob's recommendation of covering her with a towel, we commenced with Operation Chicken Catch.  As we formed a body barrier we closed in on dear Guadalupe and Ginger did the honors of the cover and lift.  After that we toured Nancy's property which host a seasonal stream providing lovely sounds and waterfalls along the way.

Curly Lane with Lunch at the Beach

It was a beautiful sunny winter day.  We finished the hike with lunch at Cook's Beach. 

Timber Ridge Road

After a night of rain, we started the hike down Timber Ridge Road in the mist and ended with sunshine at the amazing and lovely Posh Squash.  Some of us had lunch at 2Fish Bakery.  

Hearty Hikers

 

Despite it being a drizzly day we had 12 hikers complete the close to 5 mile trek to Soda Springs Reserve in Annapolis.  7 of us opted for eating lunch at leader Jim's warm, beautiful and dry home.

The Goal is Within Reach

We are closing in our goal of walking all of the trails on Sea Ranch.  To complete it, we had to walk on this not so idyllic one that parallels the highway for a bit.  Thanks Linda for being our leader and putting up with our none-sense.  :)  It was a nice rain-free hike.

Super Stornetta

It was a lovely sunny fall day.  The waves were big and the wind was small.  (Note Karl's foot in the top photo! Photo Credit: Ginger.)

The Hot Spot!

It was a lovely November day at the hot spot.  We lunched in the sunshine on the south fork of the Gualala River.  Our leader was Jim and he inspired us to hit ALL of the hot spot trails in one hike!
