NOYO HEADLANDS PARK - NORTH

We ran and walked at the Noyo Headlands Park - North this morning.  There was a little bit of rain, not enough to soak us but just enough to keep us wondering.   The ocean was quite stirred up and noisy and beautiful!  I think that it was about 50 degrees with only a slight breeze, a beautiful morning!  John's picture below shows it perfectly.  Thank you, John, for always supplying us with nice photos.

Seventh Annual Bin-2-Bin Run and Walk

The clouds parted, the sun came out, it was about 52 degrees and just a very slight breeze.  Seemed just right for a morning run or walk.  And, it was!  We had a nice group of happy people, including Nancy Severi, who manages the Food Bank.  Nancy took our photo just before the 8:00 a.m. start and who knows, it may show up in the Advocate News!

It was our Seventh Annual Bin-2-Bin Run/Walk, done to have fun and to help out the Food Bank.  We ran and walked to each of our grocery stores, bought a couple of food items and then deposited them in the Food Bank's bins as we left the stores.  The runners visited Harvest and Safeway twice and Purity once.  Walkers visited Harvest twice and Safeway once.  This was our Seventh Annual Bin-2-Bin and it grows a bit each year.   It started out as an actual race but now we just have fun!

BIG RIVER LOGGING ROAD

I've been gone for awhile and while gone, John sent the photo below.  Since tonight is the Super Moon, the photo seemed appropriate.

This morning, we met at Big River.  It was about 50 degrees and overcast.

another photo from John, taken last week at 7:30, showing that the City had not "fallen back".

Present today:  Nancy B., Rick, Nancy T., Roger, Chandra, Cheryl, John, Bob, Charlene, Ron, Susan, Bruce (in a kayak! a Fog Dodger first), Toni, Joe, Shari, Peter, Fran, Deb, Sam, Orah, Steve,  Nancy and Tom (23), and I think I've forgotten one.

In Moab, Utah, a few weeks ago,  we ran into some other couple.  We had fun camping and touring Arches NP.

John has sent me photos from today, the four below.  I hope we all have high-speed.  Remember when we had dial-up?








SUNDAY, NOV. 20th, Bin2Bin2Bin Charity Run/Walk for the Food Bank, starting at Harvest Market.  We start at Harvest, run/walk inside and buy a food item, pay for it and then drop it in the Food Bank Bin on the way out the door.  Run/Walk to Safeway and repeat the process.  Runners then run to Purity while walkers return to starting point.  You needn't spend a lot of money, could buy anything from a bag of beans to cash towards a turkey.  Save your receipts for a tax write-off.  It's fun and it gives you beautiful views as you cross the Noyo Bridge.

NOYO HEADLANDS PARK- NORTH

Neither myself or any of the other moderators were at Sunday's run/walk.  John was there and, as always, submitted some nice photos of the morning.  Unfortunately, while trying to write this while on our iPad, I can't copy and paste those photos to the blog.

Besides John, trying to keep up with three of our women runners, I'm not sure who was in attendance.   When I can, I'll post John's photos.  One of his photos was of the beautiful city clock near the Guest House.  Hopefully the Fog Dodgers were better about setting their clocks back one hour for Standard Time than the City of Fort Bragg.  Also, John reported that it was a beautiful morning to run along the shore, following the earlier rain.
