VAN DAMME STATE PARK

Craig Strobeck Photography photo

Nothing to do with this morning's run/hike but I thought this eclipse photo to be very nice.  It was sent to me by a friend in Oregon and taken by a professional photographer there.  You can look at his web site for  more of his great photos.  The eclipse was one of the bigger news stories of the week, along with  Hurricane Harvey and the Donald.

This morning at Van Damme, it was sunny and calm and 53 degrees, very nice!  Present today:  Fran, Cheryl N., Neil, Nancy T., Roger, Charlene,  Ron, Jan, John, Nancy and Tom (11).   Eight of us enjoyed the Little River Inn's Champagne Breakfast.

We checked out the Big River Road on the way home this morning.  Road closure/bridge construction has not started yet but appears imminent.  There's a large sign describing the project and it says the construction period would be done between August and November.  Right now, the mosquitoes would still be a problem anyway.
