NAVARRO RIDGE

Just a few hearty souls braved the tempest up on NAVARRO RIDGE. There was very light rain and a bit of wind but overall very pleasant. Hiking were Nancy, Tom, Joe, Beth, Bob, and Gary and Eve.

Of course we all ate the pancake breakfast at the grange. It was lightly attended so the service was pretty quick. 

John sent photos even though he did not join the group. He has been working on Navarro Ridge and did not want to repeat the drive one more time on Sunday!

COASTAL TRAIL - MIDDLE

Some of us were headed for the Fort Bragg Senior Center's benefit breakfast and had requested a location closer to the center of Fort Bragg so the walk was scheduled for COASTAL TRAIL - MIDDLE. There was a good turnout this time. Hiking were Beth and Bob with family members, Cory and Melinda, Eric, John, Barbara, Nancy, Tom, Joe, Deb, Sam, Fran, Charlene, Kelly, Jean, Kim, and Doug. This time the group headed to the north toward Glass Beach.

Around ten of us had breakfast at a rather busy Denny's

VAN DAMME

This time we hiked the canyon at VAN DAMME. It was pretty cool but with clear skies. The moon, in half-moon phase, waning, was almost straight up in the sky - very strange. The trail is a bit rough in spots as the old pavement is badly deteriorated. This time the group consisted of Beth, Bob, Deb, Sam, John, Nancy (in spirit anyway), Tom, Joe, Charlene, Eric, Barbara, and Jean.

John provided lots of photos this time:

SOUTH HARBOR

Our hike around SOUTH HARBOR was, as usual, a bit shorter than our average walk.There was a pretty large group of us: Nancy, Tom, Diana, Jeff, John, Eric, Deb, Sam, Sky Bob, Charlene, Joe, Jean, Fran, Zelda, Beth, and Bob. It was sunny but definitely autumn.

Eight of us went to Denny's for breakfast this time.
