Taco Bell Trail No Abierto - Glass Beach

This morning we did not run and walk at the planned location. The area was closed due to an ongoing shipwreck salvage operation.

From the closed entrance we could see in the distance a massive yellow crane with a towering boom perched on the edge of the bluff ready to hoist the remains of the wreck from its entanglement at the base of the bluff. The report was that during a recent major storm in the middle of the night the Trek II broke loose from its mooring in the harbor. The boat drifted out toward the sea soon to be bashed and broken on the rocks just south of the jetty.

John was the first to arrive at the gate and was thoughtful enough to remain there redirecting Fog Dodgers to Glass Beach. Good thinking John and thank you for taking charge.

Glass Beach was very nice. We were greeted by a plethora of friendly ravens. The temperature was a pleasant 50 degrees, the air was calm. There was a wintry overcast above but to the far west was a promise of lighter brighter skies.

The runners and walkers of the day were Fran, Joe, Rick, Nancy, John, Roger, Nancy, and Bob. Bruce and Otis were there also but I think they had already completed there walk.

This is the first time ever that I can recall we did not get going at the 8 o'clock start time.




NEXT SUNDAY, March 10th @ 8:00 A.M.: Big River
EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN @ 7:00 A.M.: BIG RIVER LOGGING ROAD.
