It was a lovely morning, just slightly chilly but for those of us who went south from the parking area past the green gate were warmed up quickly. We were fourteen in all including Tom T. and his four-legged partner Bennie, Bob C., Geri, John L., Greg, Charlene, Laura, Cheryl, Peter, Shari, Jennifer, Mark T., Rick and Nancy. The weather was overcast but the sun came out later in the day and warmed us all up very nicely. John has again provided us with some lovely photographs to remind us of this lovely area. We had only four runners today, Hope you and Nancy are having a fabulous time, Tom. We're looking forward to your return!



The photo below is of a farm on Caspar Orchard Road before the road makes a big turn east. 

The great white egret below is hoping for breakfast at the pond of Fern Creek Road.

I love the bright blue wheelbarrow in front of the woodpile. This lovely house is iconic.

Russian Gulch State Park

An overcast morning; not too warm and not too cold. Perfect for a brisk walk or a run.

The photo below, which is from John Loomis' collection, is a scene from the Old Cabrillo Highway near our route today.

 


John also shared his iconic photo of the Highway One bridge over Russian Gulch, shot from the bluff, which represents the way sky looked this morning.

 


Cheryl brought a friend, Laura, and John was there to run also. The rest of us walked down the hill and kept going until it was time to turn around, which luckily coincided with skipping a mucky area. Too bad the rain hasn't lasted long, but nice there wasn't too much muck left over from our little bit of rain earlier in the week. We were 15 in total including Donna who brought a friend, Lynn; Toni and Joe, Charlene, Neil, who brought his friends Sarah and Michael; Fay and Peter and Shari. Of course I have to include myself, Nancy B. who is playing leader of the band today. Hope you're having a great trip Tom and Nancy and hope roger and Nancy are having a wonderful far east experience!
