Seven of us hiked the old road to Plumper Bay.  The trail is flat and easy.  We arrived a bit too early for lunch, so we continued on to Deepwater Bay, a short, flagged trail to the gravel beach.  We arrived a bit before high tide so there was only a narrow strip of pebble beach available (at lower tides you can walk the beach a long way).  But there was a nice log to sit on for lunch.  The tide was still rising so we didn’t linger.  We went back to Plumper Bay and toured the meadow and old log dump there, and then we returned to the vehicles, getting back before the rain started.  (7.4 km; 110 m elevation gain, 2¾ hours)
