BIG RIVER LOGGING ROAD (aka Ron Jahelka Trail)

Some have wondered why the Big River Road is also called the Ron Jahelka Trail.  Ron was a very well liked Fog Dodger that passed about 20 years ago.  Big River was his first Fog Dodger run and his favorite place.  Upon his passing, when we unable to scatter his ashes into Big River due to permits and fees required, I said we would memorialize him by naming the trail there for him.  The name isn't used much but I don't want to remove the memory.

Sometimes when we're walking on the Coastal Trail several abreast, bikers can come up fast behind and scare the heck out of you.  So, one of the walkers came up with a solution: (click on the photo to enlarge and brighten)

It was a very pretty morning at Big River.  A little cool at our start but without the normal wind that so often comes down the canyon.  It was sunny and clear, the road mostly dried out and the river was a beautiful jade color.

Present today: Diana, Jeff, Kim, Doug, Fran, Jean, Bob C., Sky, Beth, Bob D., Eric, Shari, Peter, Nancy and Tom (15).

Joe's off to view the eclipse and John is out of town.  That leaves me to come up with whatever for the blog.  Well, I've tried moving several of my favorite photos over unsuccessfully and so I'm giving up on that.  Instead, I'll just get to what we're all about, the food.  Next week is the second Sunday so we will stick close to Saint Anthony's and the great Pancake Breakfast they serve.

NEXT SUNDAY, APRIL 14TH @ 8:00 A.M.: GROUP RUN/WALK/BIKE, MENDOCINO HEADLANDS AND TOWN.  You can click on the "Our Routes" tab at the top to get directions, if 

     needed.  More trivia:  I found out this morning that this location also goes by the name Potty Point.

EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN/WALK @ 7:30 A.M.: COASTAL TRAIL - MIDDLE, behind the Fort Bragg Fire Station.
