BIG RIVER LOGGING ROAD

 Happy New Year!  Well, we did it!  We at least got the New Year off to a good start.  Considering it was a holiday, and one on which many like to sleep in, or sleep it off, we had a good sized group of happy runners and walkers.

We haven't been to Russian Gulch or Van Damme State Park for quite awhile, mainly because of the trail conditions.  Next week we will try Van Damme State Park's Fern Canyon.  It used to be one of our favorite venues.  We'll see how it is now.  If you want to walk with your dog, you can't take it up Fern Canyon beyond the campground, but there is plenty of roadway if you go up to the upper campground.  It would be a very pretty walk also!
