POMO BLUFFS

Thank you, John, for today's photos.

Noyo River Navigation Buoy

Nothing out of the ordinary today, overcast, about 55 degrees and good friendships.  We met at Pomo Bluffs Park and the light foggy breeze felt a little on the cool side but was actually just right, once we got moving.  Not too many boats out this morning, the ocean was pretty sloppy.

Eleven of us enjoyed breakfast at David's after the run/walk.

It was a foggy start to a nice walk and run. Some of us went on a dirt trail that took us north and then cut through to the haul road to get back to where we started. Bob takes honors for running the farthest, and we all enjoyed seeing Roger (and Nancy) today at the walk. Afterward eight of us went to David's Deli for breakfast.

Noyo Coastal Trail-South

I couldn’t make it this morning, but John was nice enough to write up the blog and send some photos.  Thank you John.

It was a beautiful August morning run and walk.  Whales were seen on the inner coastal expanse, spouting their breaths of frothy sea water.  The ocean fragrance of urchin and seaweed wafted up the flowered cliffside bluffs.

More walkers, and one runner, John, made their way on the wonderful coastal trail.

............Later in the evening, I’m sorry John, I can’t move the photos onto the post.  I’m sending this out now, just so everyone will know where next  Sunday’s run/walk will be.

It's a beautiful morning on the coast and we started it just right!  It was 53 degreess, sunny and calm as we met for our run/walk on the Caspar Logging Road.  Present today:  from England!, Jackie and Tim, thanks Nancy T., Shari, Pat, Leon, Catherine, David, Toni, Joe, Nancy B., Rick, John, Nancy and Tom (15).  Afterwards, 10 of us enjoyed breakfast at David's.

Thanks to John, for the following three photos, taken around Caspar and today's run/walk.

And then, I thought I'd share a couple additional photos from our Alaska trip.    First one is of Lake Louise, Alberta Prov. 

The second is of a mountain called Castle Mountain, also in Alberta Prov., Canada.  It was really a beautiful drive.
