First, I want to announce that Diana and Jeff have graciously offered to host a party at their house next Sunday, December 22 after the hike. Thus the traditional holiday breakfast pot luck party of yesteryear is making a comeback. Yay!
Directions to their house: The address is 18731 Trillium Lane. Take Hwy 20 east from Hwy 1 and go one mile and turn right on Trillium Lane. Go all the way to the end and it is the last driveway on the left. There is a sign at the driveway entrance that says Forest View. We recommend not using GPS as it almost always takes people to Veronica Lane which ends up in a dead end gravel/dirt road.
Today we hiked at RUSSIAN GULCH State Park but took some detours in anticipation of blockages on the main trail due to the recent rains, a good idea since the trail was blocked further up the creek. We walked over to the beach, which is dominated by the massive arches of the highway bridge, and then walked the regular trail. Hiking were Kelly, Eric, Nancy, Tom, Diana, Jeff, John, Deb, Sam, Jean, Fran, Charlene, Mark, Barbara, Sky, Shari, and Joe (17).
Afterwards ten of us went to the Good Life in Mendocino. The patio was relatively empty for a change. I guess the weather and the Highway 128 closure has left Mendocino somewhat empty.
