Caspar Logging Roads

"Run when you can, walk if you have to, crawl if you must; just never give up." -- Dean Karnazes.

John couldn't run this morning, so he sent a few of his Caspar area photos, obviously taken at other times.  Thanks, John.

 It was a nice morning for running or walking.  When we met, it was 41 degrees, calm and with  cloudless skies.  This morning, Cyd showed up, intentionally, after finding us accidentally last week.  Thanks for coming, Cyd.   Another first timer was Sheila (sp.?).  Thanks, Donna, for inviting her.  And returning for at least her third holiday visit, Mark's daughter, Sarah.   Shari and Peter brought their son, Nate, also a return visit.  Thanks to all.

After this morning's one hour run, Cyd, was going back out for a couple more hours, getting ready for an upcoming 100 K run!  For the 100 K, she'll have 17 hours to complete it.  That's inspiration!

Female Fog Dodger runners now outnumber the males and they make a pretty fast team.  It's kind of exciting to think of the group they would  make, if they'd  all show up on the same Sunday.  We love our hikers,  but we did start as a running group and I'd sure like to see more runners.   Presently, the walkers far outnumber the runners.   If you have a friend that walks or runs, bring them along!

NEXT SUNDAY, JANUARY 4TH @ 8:00 A.M.:  RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK, see "Our Routes" above.  Hopefully, our parking area won't be too muddy.  Lately it got pretty stirred up by the tree service trucks and heavy rainfall, but it should be okay by next week.

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.
