COASTAL TRAIL

It was foggy and 46, with a slight breeze.  Cold enough to return to the trunk and dawn the stocking cap and gloves, thanks Keith!  Once we got going though, it was really just right.  Could have been prettier though, without the fog.

John's son, Nicholas, was here visiting, and it was nice to have him lead us in the run.  Also present: Fran, Charlene, Ron, Greg, Keith, Nancy B., Rick, Bob, Nancy and Tom (12).  A very thoughtful Bob, brought along a friend's dog that needed some exercise (and a diet!).  That slowed Bob down a lot from his usually fast pace.  Easy going Bob never complains though.

I've been wondering, now that the North and South Coastal Trails have been connected, will the names change.  Googling just now, it appears that the whole thing now goes by "Coastal Trail" or Fort Bragg's Coastal Trail.  I'll see if Roger can work his magic on "Our Routes" and we can just have one venue with several starting points.  Then, each time we are going to the Coastal Trail, we will just name our starting point on it, something like that.  Eventually, there will be three different entrances onto the Coastal Trail.

Let me know if you have a "special request".  It's hard to not just keep the same "old" rotation.

EXTRA!
I've added a tab at the top called "Webcam" where you can view the current conditions at the Noyo Center's Crow's Nest building near the Fort Bragg water treatment plant.
