Big River Logging Road

Big River Run/Walk April 7, 2013

It was another great morning for running and walking.  We met at Big River and it was 53, heavy overcast and calm.  John's pictures this morning show it perfectly.  Thank you, John!

It is very gratifying to be part of a group that likes what we are doing so much that when they have family and friends visiting, they bring them along also!   Thanks, Mark, for bringing your brother, Paul, this morning and thanks to Cheryl and Neil, for bringing along visiting and very long time friends, Heather and Jeff.  It was a pleasure to meet another new person this morning, Gordon.  He will be back next week and probably won't walk out 5 minutes too far!  Henry and Suzanne, he really was there, just a little in front of and then behind you.

This morning, we missed Nancy and Roger T., as they were out on The Tall Ships, doing "battle" in Bodega Bay.  Hopefully, Roger will have a picture of that when he does the blog here in a couple of weeks.

 Besides those mentioned above, present this morning were:  Bob C. and Bob J., Toni, Joe, Cheryl W., Ginny, Terry, Tom T., Nancy B., Rick, Charlene, Ron, Suzanne, Henry, Gerri, Greg, Craig, Rod, John, Sarah, Shari, Peter, Nancy and Tom (31).

I think that we're supposed to have pretty good weather this week and that should dry out the Fern Canyon Trail at Van Damme.   Dogs are not allowed in Fern Canyon but a great walk can be had by doing both of  the lower campgrounds and the Upper Meadow Campground.

EVERY TUESDAY @ 7:00 A.M.: RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK, beginning on Point Cabrillo Drive, 1/10 of a mile north of its south end.
