Trip Report

Coastal forecast was wind, light drizzle and 50°F. Right on the money!
Our big group armed with raincoats, ponchos, rain pants, backpack covers, and umbrellas gathered at Holman Vista parking lot. We peeked from wildlife observation platform and realized that fast flowing Sutton Creek is too deep for wading, so leader chose plan B.
From Holman Vista we hiked along Sutton Creek to the Dune Lake where we had short break enhanced with Vicky’s fantastic mini muffins. Rain was already slowing down.
After the short hike around Alder Lake, we explored maze of forested dunes trails, finishing back to the trail-head just before 1 PM. Everybody enjoyed 7.2 sandy miles with plenty ups and downs.
Kudos to Rachelle for co-leading and Keiko for swiping.
In Florence we stopped in new Asian restaurant for excellent lunch.
