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.

COASTAL TRAIL – SOUTH
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:

MENDOCINO HEADLANDS
We took our usual hike around the MENDOCINO HEADLANDS as it was the day of the pancake breakfast at St Anthony's. Fogdodgers present were Richard Link, Nancy, Tom, John, Joe, Mark, Eric, Deb, Sam, Sky, Kim, Doug, Beth, Bob, Charlene, Jean, Fran, and later Pat, with Leon in the car. Did I miss anyone?
Several fogdodgers then went to St Anthony's for breakfast.

PT CABRILLO LIGHTHOUSE
This last Sunday we went to PT CABRILLO LIGHTHOUSE, a location we haven't visited for quite a while. The hike there is pretty short if one just goes down the road and back up so our group split up with some hiking north along the trails before turning to return to the parking lot while others lingered around the lighthouse and went south a short distance to the pond. At the pond some were lucky enough to spot a family of river otters who are making the pond their home, at least until the fish supply runs out. According to report baby otters are really cute.
Hiking were Deb, Sam, Nancy, Tom, Sky, Jean, Fran, Doug, Kim, John, Barbara Joe,Charlene, and Chris.
Afterward a group of nine of us went to the the Good Life for a very nice breakfast.
And for those interested in the bumblebee story I told, here is an article with a video:

PUDDING CREEK TRESTLE
This past Sunday we walked starting from the south end of PUDDING CREEK TRESTLE. A medium sized group of long-time Fogdodgers did the walk: Nancy, Tom, John, Joe, Deb, Sam, Charlene, Kim, Doug, Sky, Eric, and Mark. Beth and Bob joined us a bit later.
Afterwards I gather most Fogdodgers went to Denny's for breakfast.
John took some beautiful photos:

NAVARRO RIDGE
As usual for the fourth Sunday of the month we walked east along the road at NAVARRO RIDGE. This time it was mostly the fogdodgers who have been with the group for a long time. Hiking were Charlene, Tom, John, Joe, Eric, Deb, Sam, and Fran. Nice cool weather and lots of spring flowers. There were a couple of California Quail parents with lots of very recently hatched chicks at one driveway along the road.
Of course almost all of us attended the grange pancake breakfast.
