Big River

For those keen surfers that were out looking for the blog yesterday - apologies.  Went to breakfast, got home, enjoyed the amazing weather and clean forgot!

What a glorious morning.  In fact, what a glorious stretch of weather - it's been shorts and tee shirts for a while now - yeah!!  I have no idea what the temperature was when we left, or when we returned, though looking at my weather station at home, it was probably around 59°, which also shows that earlier this month it reached 82°, the highest temperature since we moved here 3.5 years ago.

Turnout out was a little lower than we've seen lately, but there are a lot of people having fun out of town at the moment.  Still it's quality, not quantity that counts and what a quality group this morning - Bob C, Cheryl, Craig, Ginny, Gordon, Henry, Mike, Nancy T, Neil, Roger, Suzanne, Terry, Tonita, Tom T, and John kindly brought his son Nick and Heather.  Also, as always, thanks to John for sending me photos.

Next Sunday at 7am is the lowest tide of the year, -1.9ft. - it will still be nearly -1.5ft at 8am.  Not wanting to miss this once in a year opportunity, for next week we've added a new walk that will allow runners and walkers to enjoy the open beach normally covered with water.  The plan is to meet at the car park at the end of Ward Avenue, see Our Routes, where a map for this walk has been added.  Unfortunately dogs aren't allowed more than a few hundred yards north from Ward Ave., even on a leash, so those that want to take their dogs, we can go south towards Lake Cleone and Laguna Point.

Hope to see you all then.

NEXT SUNDAY, DATE @ 8:00 A.M.: WARD AVENUE - See Our Routes above
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.
EVERY THURSDAY @ 7:00 A.M.: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.
