POMO BLUFFS PARK - NOYO BAY

We were last at this venue on March 20th.  Oh, how different it was today.  Last time, a heavy rain and very strong headwinds, today, sunny, calm and 53 degrees.  It was a beautiful morning!  There was a thin and very low, ocean-hugging fog that gave the feel and smell of being near the ocean.

Sunrise on Noyo Bay, John was there earlier than most, thanks  John.

Present today:  Keith, Nancy T., Roger, Cheryl N., Neil, John, Charlene, Ron, Jeff, Susan, Toni, Joe, Mary, Shari, Peter, Orah, Steve, Greg, Nancy and Tom (20).

This guy (?) was there the entire time.  The day was just that nice!

I was on light duty today.  Sure wish that I could have run.  It was nice though, to be loafing and sightseeing.  I read the interpretive signs and enjoyed the park's trails.  It is such a pretty place now, whereas in the past, it was a place the kids went mudding in their 4 X 4's.

John left early and went to Boonville and ran the Boontling Classic 5K.  He did very well and it was very hot!  Congratulations John!

I've been asked to mention an event coming up on Saturday, June 4th, one day only.  I'll get more information on it later but I do know for sure, that the dead and beached blue whale from a couple of years ago, is now a cleaned and reassembled skeleton and will be on display out on the Noyo Headlands Park - South Trail.  I think we'll schedule our run/walk there on Sunday the 5th but to see the whale skeleton, you'll have to go out there on Saturday the 4th.  This should be one impressive skeleton!
