Skunk Cabbage Trail

Friday: (10/09) Lou fixed black berry pancakes with sausage for breakfast.

 
She then dropped me off at the Skunk Cabbage Trailhead. I hiked out to the beach, about 4.5 miles.

 
Then up the beach about 5.2 miles on the Coastal Trail to the Miners Ridge Trailhead and back to camp, 6.8 miles with a little side trip on the nature trail.

I really liked the gargoyle burl on the right above.

Mushrooms in competition with my shoes.

It was a total of about 16.5 miles today. A nice shower and some food and all was good. Lou and Dawn returned from Orick about an hour later. They had stopped for a late lunch at the Palm Cafe. I enjoyed their leftovers, part of a steak sandwich and fries.

Here is the GPS track.
