UPPER RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK

Today's run/walk was an experiment.   I always welcome suggestions for new venues and today's was a request.  I think it will work out great in the future, with a better job by me in describing the venue.  I apologize for not describing the routes with more detail.  Today's, was either uphill or downhill, but rarely flat.  That doesn't work well for some and is perfect for others.

Next week, we will go back to Big River.  We haven't gone there since being chased out by the mosquitoes last summer.  It will be fine now and you will get to see the new bridge, which is now completed.    On the following week, we will again run and walk the Noyo Headlands Park - South.  It should now be connected to the North trail, which will make it a great venue for all, whether you go short or long.

Sunday, Jan. 21st, Big River, the Big River Road is again open and for the time being, mosquito free.

Sunday, Jan. 28th, Noyo Headlands Park - South, across from Taco Bell.  It said in the Advocate News that the two halves of the Coastal Trail are now connected and to open in January, we will see.


NEXT SUNDAY, JAN. 21st  @ 8:00 A.M.: GROUP RUN AND WALK, BIG RIVER LOGGING ROAD.


EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN @ 7:00 A.M.:  MENDOCINO, beginning at the restrooms on Heeser Dr.
