 So early one morning, I headed to Salt Point State Park, which is along Highway 1 and the ocean in northern Sonoma County. It's known for mushrooms, if not necessarily for chanterelles, but I had heard some folks had found them there before. I brought my husband. We tried to time the trip for a break in the rain and totally failed. It's full-on raining. After a big storm, downed trees were everywhere. We climbed over two blocking the trail, but the third one stopped us. All right.
