Big River Logging Road

All the way from England, we had two nice guests this morning. Thanks, Nancy and Roger for bringing Sabine and Sean. Neil also brought his brother, Gene. We were all greeted by an absolutely beautiful morning. It was 50 degrees at our start and considerably warmer at the finish. That's warm enough to bring out the mosquitoes, first time this year. Also present were:  Charlene, Dorothy, Fran, Orah, Steve, Shari, Peter, Suzi, Toni, Larry, Bob, John, Nancy and Tom (20). Thank you, John for a couple of nice Big River photos, taken this morning.

NEXT SUNDAY, July 1st @ 8:00 A.M.: Hare Creek, Jackson State Forest Road 400 (Gravel Pit Road). See "Our Routes" above.

EVERY TUESDAY @ 7:00 A.M.: RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK, beginning on Point Cabrillo Drive, 1/10 of a mile north of its south end.

Ten Mile River Logging Road

Just after saying that last week was our warmest morning of the year, this week was even warmer. I was driving my VWOT (vehicle w/o thermometer) so I don't know exactly but would guess that it was at least 60 at our 8:00 a.m. start. It was really very pleasant at Ten Mile River this Sunday. Only three runners (John, Nancy and Tom) and it was too warm for us but plenty of happy walkers: Charlene, Fran, Neil, Nancy B., Rick, Gay, Mark, Toni, Larry, Nancy T., Roger, Shari and Peter (16).

NEXT SUNDAY, June 25th @ 8:00 A.M.: Big River Logging Road, see "Our Routes" above and bring your mosquito repellant.

EVERY THURSDAY @ 7:00 A.M.: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.

Van Damme State Park

A photo of MacKerricher from last week and one from this morning at the Spring Ranch, thank you John L. It was hot this morning! Well, relatively anyway. 58 degrees at our start, was the "warmest" so far this year. We were at Van Damme State Park and Fern Canyon was Spring-like and beautiful. Besides warm, it was sunny and there was just a slight breeze. We had a nice turnout today: Shari, Peter, Nancy B., Rick, Toni, Larry, Suzi, Charlene, Orah, Steve, Bob, John, Cheryl, Neil, Jennifer, Johnny, Rod, Nancy and Tom (19).

NEXT SUNDAY, JUNE 17TH @ 8:00 A.M.: TEN MILE RIVER LOGGING ROAD, see "Our Routes" above. Gas prices have come down a few cents and so I'm hoping you'll drive all the way up to Ten Mile, it's a very nice run, walk or bike ride.

EVERY TUESDAY @ 7:00 A.M.: RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK, beginning on Point Cabrillo Drive, 1/10 of a mile north of its south end.

EVERY THURSDAY @ 7:00 A.M.: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.

MacKerricher Haul Road

Thank you, John L. for the Pudding Creek photo taken on an earlier date.

This morning was every bit as beautiful though, maybe more so. It was 54 degrees with mostly clear blue skies and no wind. Ran into a couple of incidental Fog Dodgers this morning so I'm counting Melissa I. and Melissa H., even though they couldn't run at 8:00. Also present were: Neil, Joel, Nancy T., Larry, Charlene, two Rods, a visiting Bill, Johnny, John L., Bob, Megan, Rick, Nancy and Tom (16).

NEXT SUNDAY, June 10th @ 8:00 A.M.: Van Damme State Park, see "Our Routes" above. I understand that we seem to run and walk the same trails often. We just do not have too many to choose from and I am always open to requests. Van Damme's Fern Canyon is one of our favorite runs.
