NOYO COASTAL HEADLANDS TRAIL - NORTH

An incredibly beautiful ocean this morning!  Unfortunately, what it took to make it so beautiful, was a 20 - 25 mph southerly wind and accompanying drizzle.  There were very large waves breaking and the wind was blowing their tops off, very pretty!  We chose to start out going into the wind, since the drizzle was light at the moment.  Coming back with the wind was actually quite nice.  Another out and back to the north along the Haul Road, just seemed to make the wind and drizzle a little harder and wetter!  It all made for a great breakfast at David's for 10 us.

After fooling around with "Blogger" for 10 minutes or so, I give up!  It is really difficult sometimes, unless you are Roger, to arrange photos and captions on these blogs.  They just don't go where you want them to go!

John sent me these photos for the day and he titled one of them "Mr. Poppins" and the other, "Not Mary".  You get the idea, it was windy out there this morning.  The pretty bowl, is one that John found at an outdoor "art gallery" in the park at Lucerne, over in Lake County.

Present today:  Nancy T., Roger, Nancy B., Rick, Joe, Toni, Charlene, Ron, Zelda, Jan, John, Nancy and Tom (13).
                       

Hard to believe but it has been almost two years since we last ran and walked at Ten Mile River.  It'a drive that's just a few miles further than Ward Avenue or Lake Cleone and I hope the distance doesn't discourage you.  By request (and I like it also) we're going there next week.  It's a great road for everything!

Remember, we will have our Annual Pot Luck Breakfast and Cookie Exchange on Dec. 10.  Read about it just below.

           
Sunday, Dec. 3rd, by request, Ten Mile River Logging  Road, (click on "Our Routes" above).

Sunday, Dec. 10th, Caspar Logging Roads (this day was previously scheduled for Big River but I'm not sure if construction there is completed).   We will have our 8th (at least) Annual Pot Luck Breakfast and Cookie Exchange.  It will be at Mark and Gay's home and you can ask me for directions if you need them.  You don't want to miss this event!  You can bring any kind of dish that could be interpreted as breakfast related, and a plate of cookies if you wish to participate in that exchange.  You must take home a plate!

Roger has updated "Our Routes" at the top of the page, thanks Roger!  When you look and see how many different options we have, you wonder why we keep doing the same ones over and over.  Well, there are little glitches with each route and I tend to pick whatever seems to please most of us.  Be sure to let me know if there's one that you want to try again.  Today, Shari suggested a couple of trails around the Pt. Cabrillo area and I'll look into those.  Anyway, Roger has all of the maps looking really good  and it will help us all get to the right starting points.  

EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN @ 7:00 A.M.: MENDOCINO, beginning at the Heeser Drive restrooms.
