NAVARRO RIDGE

A wonderful day up on NAVARRO RIDGE, sunny but cool with a touch of breeze. There was a good-sized crowd of us fogdodgers with a couple of newish faces: John, Joe, Deb, Sam, Tom, Diana, Jeff, Beth, Bob, Tess, Bruce, Sky, Pat (with Leon staying behind), Fran, Jean, Eve, and Gary/ On the way back toward the grange we ran into Claudette along with Judy and Dean. Bob was rumored to be running somewhere.

Lots o us stayed for the famous pancake breakfast at the grange. They have learned there lesson and built up a supply of pancakes so there was no waiting for them.

We had a pleasant hike at COASTAL TRAIL – SOUTH this last Sunday morning. Hiking were Tom (Nancy is "in the shop" after an injury), Sky, Kelly, Mark, Joe, Fran, Jean, Charlene, Beth, Bob, Eve, Gary, Kim, Doug, Zelda, Eric, and Pat (with Leon in the car). It seem like this weekend has been particularly busy on the coast but, on this Sunday morning, things were not too bad. Several Fogdodgers had plans to attend the Comptche BBQ.

After the walk about eleven of us had breakfast at Denny's.

John was absent but sent me these two photos:
