SOUTH HARBOR

The walk this week followed the usual route at SOUTH HARBOR, We walked up river on the south shore of the Noyo to just past Dolphin Isle and then back to the lower boat launch ramp. We noted that electric fence standoffs and wire had been installed on the dock where, in the past, many sea lions had contested for a resting place. The electric fencing seems to have done the trick - no sea lions on the dock. Hikers were Deb, Sam, Toni, Joe, Kelly, Eric, Diana, Jeff, Sky, Mark, and Charlene.

This time we have photos from both John (who did not hike with us this time - had to go to the film festival) and Diana.

NEXT SUNDAY, June 8 @ 8:00 A.M.: GROUP RUN/WALK/BIKE, MENDOCINO HEADLANDS. You can click on the "Our Routes" tab at the top to get directions, if needed. Note that the Mendocino Headlands location was chosen by request in spite of the the fact that we hiked there on the second Sunday in May just 3 weeks ago. Previously I had been asked to make sure there was variety in our location choice by not repeating any location frequently, but being able to eat at St Anthony's is also a priority for many, so compromise seems in order this time.

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