Ten Mile River Logging Road

See?  Many more berries in the days ahead.  

I thought it was nice this morning, up at Ten Mile River.  There was a high overcast and it was calm and 55 degrees.  It felt much better than the low fog and breeze in town.  I arrived at the last minute and so this is a real test!  Zelda was a big help, introducing me to the 5 (!) guests that she brought along.  There was Lala and Karl (actually their second walk), Cristina, David and Axelle (all the way from France!).  Thanks Zelda.  Also present today:  John, Greg, Tom T. (?), Fran, Gay, Mark, Neil, Nancy B., Toni, Joe, Nancy T. and Tom (18).  There, I hope I remembered everyone!

There weren't as many ripe berries as I had hoped for but there were enough!  We enjoyed the blackberries and didn't walk or run quite as far as we would have.  There are so many "green" berries still on the vines, they will be plentiful for anyone wanting a return visit over the next few weeks.  Be careful up there during the week though, it is a private road and there is an active gravel plant with lots of trucks.





 Thank you John L. for today's pictures, all taken at Ten Mile and just before we walked and ran.

Hard to hide with ears like that!  

A cow, some fog and some nice xmas trees

NEXT SUNDAY, Aug. 10th @ 8:00 A.M.:  CASPAR LOGGING ROADS, see "Our Routes" above.  I know, we were just at Caspar on July 20th.  We are down to just six or seven locations and of those, only 3 or 4 that work well for everyone.  Caspar, Big River and Ward Avenue work really well and after all, they are beautiful places to walk or run.
