At the Dune Peninsula, we'll take some time to try to spot the seals that have moved into the area before heading over Pt. Defiance. We'll take a quick stop at the gardens to check out the roses, dahlias and whatever else is blooming before heading toward Owen Beach and looping back to the Dune Peninsula. We should be out 2 - 2-1/2 hours.
We'll meet at Dune Peninsula in front of the bathrooms at 5:45 p.m.
