COASTAL TRAIL - SOUTH

John's niece sent him the cute cat picture for Valentine's Day. Since Valentine's Day was two days ago, I thought that I'd better get it into the blog right away.  I hope that everyone had a nice day.

John sent us all of today's photos and I'm most thankful for all that John does.  Remember, all of the photos are better and bigger if you click on them.

I want to thank Joe for inviting a guest today, Christian.  Also present today; Toni, Nancy B., Fran, Neil, Shari, Peter, Deb, Sam, Bob, John, Nancy and Tom (14).

We ran and walked on the Coastal Trail today, starting at the southern parking lot, more easily referred to as "Taco Bell".

It was a really nice morning.  It was very summer-like, about 47 degrees, calm and mostly overcast when we started but then the sun started breaking through.  The whistle bouy and 

our local Canda Geese seemed very busy today, whistling and honking.  Maybe I just had my hearing aides turned up too high?

We last ran and walked at Van Damme last March 24th, almost a year ago.  At that time, the Fern Canyon Trail was badly eroded.  It was one of our favorite trails and I want to give it another try.  Hopefully, some maintenance has been done on it and I'm sure that everyone would like another Little River Inn Champagne Breakfast.

NEXT SUNDAY, FEB. 23RD, GROUP RUN AND WALK,  VAN DAMME STATE PARK

EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN, 7:00 A.M., Big River Logging Road on Tuesday and Heeser Drive/Mendocino on Thursday.


I got a couple of late photo entries here from John, so I'm just going to squeeze them in.  When I try to start maneuvering photos around, blogger does strange things.  That's my alibi, for sentences or paragraphs that seem completely

out of place, or type that is in bold face for no apparent reason.  It is, what it is.  Hope you all have a great week!
