Events:

We will be hosting a picnic May 27 and we will have Memorial Day as a backup date, in case of bad weather. We will be grilling burgers, hot dogs and chicken in front of the new landslide.

There won’t be abalone though. The bad weather canceled my trip. I can’t get abalone if I can’t get in the water.

We will set up a grill for general use. We will provide the fire, but you will bring your own food. This will be every Sunday in June. Look for our grill in front of the new landslide.

July 4th, I will be coordinating a joint picnic with Black's Beach Bares (BBares) and the Camping Bares (CBares). BBares will be providing the grill and condiments. I will be making ice cream and looking for volunteers to crank it.

I'm looking for other volunteers to bring food. I will be able to fill some of this grocery list with CBares. I thought we should have some hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken for the grill. Some white corn for the grill would be a good idea too. Other food like potato salad, melons and other fruit would be good too. If you plan to bring something, please let me know. It would be a shame to bring too much of one thing and have to carry it back up the cliff. Please see me on the beach or visit my website to see what is already covered.

Things we need:

hamburgers

hot dogs

buns

chicken

white corn

melons

salads

The Naturist Society is having their gathering at Swallows July 12-15. They will visit here July 13th. We are planning a picnic that will be a repeat of the July 4th picnic.

Names of Places:

Only a few people have come forward with names of places and I spoke with a lifeguard too. I think most people know of a place we call Spencer Canyon, but the lifeguards call it Hully Gully. It’s the place Where Al used to hang out.

The lifeguard couldn’t explain why, but the place where the landslide occurred was called Windows. He said it had something to do with all the hang gliders crashing there. I will be contacting geologists soon to find out what name they’ve given to that slide. I was thinking of calling it Valentine Slide, since it might have happened Valentine’s Day. There is Lone Palm at the southern edge of the landslide.

There is the rusted buoy near Mussell Rocks. The lifeguards call this Steel Ball. There is Indian Canyon and the North Trail.

There are the two trails south of the glider port. One of these is the goat trail, which has signs stating False Trail at the top and bottom. There is the main trail, sometimes called the Burro Trail. This trail is sometimes improved with staircases and handrails.

Please help me fill in this map with more canyons and landmarks.
