Day Hike - Barclay Lake

Mushrooms, mosses and mlichens abound on this easy hike to the foot of towering Mt. Baring. Moisture brings these out and we will identify mosses, trees and lichens while gathering and identifying wild mushrooms.

145th Street Park and Ride at 7 AM. This is just into shoreline right by I5. An alternative meeting place will be arranged if need be.

With the rains beginning the mushrooms will rise as from the dead to entertain us on this amble. The trees and rocks are moss lined. Dress for rain and mud and wear sturdy hiking shoes.
