If it's Thursday, I'm probably hiking.: GUALALA ARTS TO GREEN IRON BRIDGE ROAD HIKE

If it's Thursday, I'm probably hiking.: GUALALA ARTS TO GREEN IRON BRIDGE ROAD HIKE

We did not take a camera this time.  We liked the grounds of the art center down to the river and back up.  Then we hiked the road down to the bridge which was beautiful and quite.  We ate lunch out in the sun on the deck of the art center and then looked at the art (in our case - relooked) that was from the festival a couple weeks ago.

We made three stops on our way home - the store and two stops to pick up gifts for this weekends silent auction here in the Irish Beach Community to help our fence fund.

Then for dinner we took our friends/neighbors Diane and karl for dinner up in Mendocino at Cafe Boaujolais.
