Trip Report

Eleven members and five nonmembers enjoyed mild, cloudy weather with no wind. The hike consisted of several loops, passing some ponds and some tasty huckleberries. We did not go out onto the open dunes, but there were short stretches of soft sand and plenty of vegetation and tree cover. Afterwards we all went to lunch at Cheng's family dish, which served huge portions of tasty food. A good day!
