Van Damme State Park

Mendocino, J. Loomis

Don't know if it was the weather (beautiful and 59 degrees) or that it was one of our favorite locations, but we had a larger turnout than I expected.  Welcome back to Peter N. and Pat T.  They had been gone about a year (not together).  Thanks to Shari and Peter for bringing guests Bonnie and Wes and lastly, guests Roberta and Jim.

Normally, I don't have to write down the names until I get home and then I have Nancy to double check my memory.  Today though, I admit to turning around early so that I could get back to a piece of paper and pen to write down all the names.  It was a great morning for walking and running and I'm really happy that we had so many nice people come.  Also present were: Ginny, Terry, Nancy T., Roger, John, Rod, Gay, Mark, Mike, Neil, Melissa I., Cheryl, Orah, Steve, Nancy B., Rick, Geri, Craig, Kathy, Steve, Charlene, Ron, Suzanne, Henry, Tonita, Fran, Greg, Nancy and Tom (37!  and that's a record folks!)  Our previous record turnout was 36, a few years back at Big River.

IN 2 WEEKS, 7/14/13, JACKSON STATE FOREST ROAD 450, POTLUCK BREAKFAST PICNIC FOLLOWING!!   I hope that we can get a turnout like today's for this.  I guarantee that you're going to like John's place and the picnic area he has created.  Bring anything you like but remember that if it needs reheating, it will have to go on a grill or share very limited electrical.  Also, please bring your own carafe of coffee, as we will not have coffee makers going.  Another reminder and any additional info needed in next week's blog.
