"Is it raining?  That doesn't matter.  Am I tired?  That doesn't matter, either.  Then willpower will be no problem." -- Emil Zatopek

We were pleasantly surprised upon arrival at Big River this morning.  It was 57 degrees, that's nice, but unlike the clear skies that current radar and satellite imagery were showing, it was raining!  I didn't expect such a nice turnout, hence the 'pleasantly surprised'.  Sometimes on the coast here, it just keeps on drizzling or raining, long after the last clouds disappear from satellite view or raindrops from the radar, I don't understand that.

Thanks, John, for so many nice photos.

NEXT SUNDAY, JANUARY 25 @ 8:00 A.M.:  PUDDING CREEK TRESTLE, see "Our Routes" above.  I have heard that the barricades have been taken down and the north half of the new coastal trail along the former mill property is now open.  We intend to run and walk from the Pudding Creek Trestle, to the south to check out the new trail.

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.  Yaay! It is beginning to get lighter in the mornings now.

EVERY THURSDAY @ 7:00 A.M.: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.
