MENDOCINO HEADLANDS AND TOWN

We're finally getting regular rain events.  It will certainly help the trees and eventually those whose wells have dried up.  Another benefit of the winter rain, it usually warms up the weather and such was the case today.  It was a nice 52 degrees, cloudy, but no rain.

For the mid-week Fog Dodgers, next Sunday's run/walk/bike might seem repetitive, we're there on Thursday also.  I couldn't help not choosing Big River though, because right at 8:00 a.m., there's a 7.2 foot "King Tide".  That just means that it's about as high as the tides get all year.  It's really neat, to see how much water comes in and how the high water rises into all the little "canals" that cut thru the grass/mud flats.  When we finish at 9:00, the tide should be turning and starting to empty the river pretty fast.

  NEXT SUNDAY, JAN. 10TH @ 8:00 A.M.:  GROUP RUN/WALK/BIKE, BIG RIVER LOGGING ROAD

EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN/WALK @ 7:30 A.M.:  Beginning behind the Fort Bragg Fire Station on Tuesdays and on Big River Logging Road on Thursdays.
