SUMMARY:"Easter Egg hunt" Hood Mountain!
DESCRIPTION:I plan on going despite some rain in forecast. \nDo you want to go on an “Easter egg hunt” with a bunch of curious and fun nature nerds? What better way to spend part of your Easter? Bring a friend or some family members for a healthy\, outdoorsy\, brain-stimulating way to spend the holiday. The North Coast Nature Journal Club will hike around Hood Mountain regional park\, using our nature journals as a lens for engaging with the natural world. Instead of looking for plastic eggs filled with sugar we will look for precious natural nuggets of wonder that are just waiting to be found by a curious eye. Some dark chocolate might be involved as a cognitive enhancer. There will be great opportunities to compose and paint landscape sketches in the mixed oak woodlands and meadows. Depending on the group we might opt for a more adventurous hike to see some of the North Bay panoramas available from the ridges\, where we can try our hand at painting “grand landscapitos” and study atmospheric perspective. There are also beautiful creeks to explore. \nThis outing will involve more strenuous hiking and areas with very uneven ground. Please wear layers\, sun protection\, and comfortable hiking shoes. Bring a potluck item that can be carried on the trail. Easter themed is fun if you want. As always bring your sketching and watercolor supplies. Light folding stools might be useful but focus on mobility and comfort. \nWe will meet at the Pythian Rd entrance parking lot. Please do not accidentally go to the Los Alamos rd entrance. This is a Sonoma County Regional Park so there is a $7 parking fee. (I recommend becoming a member. Many of our meetings will take place at these parks so a membership could be a good commitment). \n$20 recommended donation

SUMMARY:Discover Salmon Creek!
DESCRIPTION:For the magnificent month of March we will meet at South Salmon Creek\, just North of Bodega Dunes campground on Hwy 1. This is a very fun location to observe coastal wetlands\, waterbirds\, and to explore animal tracks including red foxes. This will be the perfect trip to learn more about animal tracking\, how to draw tracks\, and how to frame and paint 5 minute landscape sketches. \nWe won’t hike long distances but the terrain is slightly challenging because it is mostly sand dunes. The weather is variable and can be windy. Be prepared for sand and wind. Bring sketching and watercolor supplies\, binoculars\, and a potluck lunch to share. We will return to the parking lot around 12:30 for the potluck so you don’t need to pack your food/beverages on this trip. \nWe will meet in the parking lot at 10am. Parking here is free. \nDirections: Drive north on Hwy 1 from Bodega Bay\, after the big sign and turnoff for Bodega Dunes Campground stay attentive on the left. Just before the bridge over the creek there is a small turnoff onto Bean ave. Turn left onto bean ave and follow this small street until it dead ends at a parking lot covered in sand. \nBe prepared to see something you have never seen before and to add 3 new tricks to your mental toolbox! \n$20 recommended donation \n  \n  \n
