NAVARRO RIDGE

This time our walk at NAVARRO RIDGE drew a pretty good contingent of fogdodgers: John; Nancy; Tom; Beth; Bob D.: Sky; Eric; Deb; Sam; Bob C. (running); Claudette; Jean; Fran; Zelda, Joe; Diana; and Jeff. The weather was cool - it felt like fall.

Afterwards most of us went to the grange for their pancake breakfast.

POMO BLUFFS

POMO BLUFFS was the choice for this Sunday. There was plenty of fog making for a pleasant walk. Hiking were Deb, Sam, Diana, Jeff, Nancy, Tom, John, Joe, Kelly, Charlene, Fran, Jean, Beth, and Bob.

Eleven of us went to the Laurel Deli for breakfast. I was crowded and we didn't get the back room, but they manged to assemble a long table for us near the door.

MENDOCINO HEADLANDS

We all felt that it was a spectacular morning.  John's picture here of one of Mendocino's water towers shows what the morning looked like.  But the "feel" was also perfect.  It was warm, calm and the ocean was flat, very quiet.

Fran's son, Stephen, was here and made us an actual Running and Walking Group.  Thanks Stephen.  Also present today: Jean, Charlene, Barbara, Kim, Doug, Kelly, John, Mark, Eric, Sky, Beth, Bob, Shari, Nancy and Tom (17).

John said he had an interesting picture taking day.  Here's a few of his photos.

CASPAR LOGGING ROAD

Sad news, John's garden is telling us that Summer is over and Fall is near:  Fall is nice also, just hate to lose the long summer days.

On just my second week of Reign as Substitute Blogger, I couldn't let Covid stop me.  When I announced upon arrival that I had Covid, our circle immediately expanded.  I did keep my distance from all and did not cough or sneeze.

Present today:  Eve and Gary, Mark, Kelly, Fran, Sky, Jean, Charlene, Shari, Eric, Sam, John, Beth and Bob, Barbara, Nancy and Tom (17).

                                                             Caspar "Duck Pond"

While walking in Schollenberger Park, Petaluma, this week, I came upon this sign.  I said to myself, boy do we need this sign.  We actually need about six of them, or more, at each access point to our Coastal Trail.  I've submitted my recommendation to the F. B. City Council.  Fingers crossed.
