THE RON JAHELKA TRAIL

It was a great morning! This kind of surprised me. Yesterday and even all through the night, the northwest wind just kept blowing. I thought for sure that this morning at Big River it would seem pretty cold and windy. Instead, it was a good 46 degrees and the winds weren't too bad. The sky was sunny and blue!

Spring is here and things are starting to bloom! John has supplied these photos, thanks John.



Thank you Randy E., for referring Sara, Josh and Jonas, from Willits, and it was a pleasure to meet them. We missed you though, Randy. Also present today were, and let me make my periodic apology now for anyone that I forget, as I sometimes just don't get a good enough look around. Of course sometimes, I'll look you right in the face, talk with you and still forget that you were there: Fran, Elaine, Deb, Sam, Bob, Johnny, Melissa F., Ron, Charlene, Cindy, Jim, Toni, Nancy T., Roger, John, Laurie, Nancy B., Rick, Geri, Kathy, Steve, Nancy and Tom (26).







Breakfast was really good at the Little River Inn. Fifteen of us enjoyed that. As far as I know, everyone really liked their meal and the price was generally only a dollar or so more than some of our other breakfast venues. We may try to schedule that more often. It may require some sort of a "RSVP" response prior to our run/walk and then we could call the restaurant and have them try to save us the side room. We were fortunate to have gotten in there this morning just before all of the inn guests started coming in, (9:15 is okay, 9:30 wouldn't be!).
