BIG RIVER LOGGING ROAD

It was kind of brisk this morning, about 40 degrees with a 5-10 mph easterly breeze.  When it's like that, people get antsy and want to get going early, they did.  Couldn't hold 'em back today, most all were on their way two minutes early.  Four of us however, were right on time.  Extra credit for Joel, Barbara, Jackie and Tom!  Demerits for everyone else!

In a couple of weeks, we will try a new venue, "Pomo Bluffs - Noyo Bay",  and I am looking forward to that one.  It will start on Todd's Point (newer name is Pomo Bluffs) and go east to the highway and across the Noyo Bridge and then out to Johnson Point on the new Coastal Trail (South).  Check out the tab above, "Our Routes".  Roger has helped to rewrite and remap several of our venues.

Also, we haven't been to Ten Mile River or Navarro Ridge for a long time, so they'll be coming up very soon (by request).  They might seem like a long ways away, but they are really just 5 - 10 minutes further than Van Damme or Ward Ave., and they are both great roads for walking and running.
