RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK

We started the new year, Happy New Year everyone, just right, with a good walk in one of our favorite State Parks.  It was a little cool at Russian Gulch but not like the rest of the country, thank goodness.  The sun was out and the days are starting to lengthen.  The creek was brown from the recent rain and the trail was good, thanks to all the upgrading they've done over the past year or two.

                            Thanks John, for all of today's photos.

Oh, I did take one photo recently.  It's where we'll walk and run next week, so I thought it a good time to post.

Present today: Fran, Charlene, Barbara, Deb, Sam, John, Joe, Nancy and Tom (9).

Nancy and I are hoping to do quite a bit more traveling, now that we are post-pandemic (??).  Besides Covid, we were also going through a move into town and a remodel project.  I've got a few "Golden Years" left and I'm anxious to try out the new motorhome.  I'm hoping that someone in our group will volunteer to take over as Main Blogger.  It's not difficult, believe me, I've been doing an email or a blog for 24 years now, and it's a great way to remember everyone's name.  We have a couple of other Authors that can usually fill in when you're not available.  Please let me know if you want to give it a try.  Thank you.

There is a lot of rain in the forecast this week.  Also, there is wind.  Seems as though all of our venues have some drawback.  I'm going with Glass Beach for next Sunday and will hope for the best.
