MacKerricher Haul Road

Another beautiful Mendocino Coast morning.  What a summer.  On our frequent visits before we moved to Fort Bragg, the locals would always tell us that the wonderful weather we always seemed to find was "unusual".  Living here has confirmed my suspicions, that this was just a rumor perpetuated by locals to keep too many people from moving here!  Fortunately we chose to ignore them - and glad we did.

Thanks to John for these photos, taken this morning, that show in spite of all this great weather, the wild flowers are doing well.
Back to today.  It was a around 54° when we started and close to 60° when we got back to the car park. Enjoying today's run/walk were John L, Nancy B, Neil, Toni, Ron, Charlene, Bob, Joel, Elaine, Mark, Gay, Rick S, Megan, Pat, Leon Nancy T and Roger.  Seven of us had a very pleasant breakfast at David's.

 One of our pleasant walks used to be A&W/Georgia Pacific Road (see our routes).  Some time ago, a gate was placed across the entrance.  However, many of us still take this road, by using the paths either side of the Fitness Center, on Cypress, just east of the Police station.  I'm curious as to how you feel about doing this as a group walk?  You can email me at fogdodgers.1@thornburns.com with your thoughts.

NEXT SUNDAY, DATE @ 8:00 A.M.: We'll do Ten Mile this week as the blackberries are ripening fast and this is a great place for those that want to pick some.
