POMO BLUFFS PARK

Another perfect day!

It was a very pretty morning.  It was clear, sunny and 'warm'.  I forgot to check the temperature but I think it was about 53 degrees when we started.  A short way in to the run, I decided to be a walker, or we would have had 9 runners, a nice change.

It's harvest time in John's garden.  He always does really well with his veggies and fruits.  They make the blog look good!

Next weekend is Paul Bunyan Days here, otherwise known as Labor Day Weekend.  I thought it would be best to avoid town for our run/walk, but we just went to the Caspar Logging Road last week and every thing else is in or near town.  Mendocino might be kind of busy.  Another complication is that the Noyo Headlands Race is on Sunday and will occupy all of the Coastal Trail.  So, again, we will use the Caspar Logging Road.   Fortunately, Kira always saves us a big round table at David's!

Have a good week!

Present were:  Fran, Deb, Sam, Ron, Cheryl N., Neil, Sam B., Nancy B., Nancy T., Toni, Joe, John, Bob,   Sherry (from Placerville and invited by Tom and Nancy), Nancy and Tom (15).

CASPAR LOGGING ROADS

Somewhere near 55 degrees, no wind and overcast skies, that's how it was this morning as we met and got started, up Jackson State Forest Road 500, aka Caspar Logging Road.  It was another perfect morning for walking and running.  We've had more "perfect" days this summer than we're used to but nobody is complaining.  Sadly though, it was the warmest July ever for the country as a whole.

I'm guessing; I guess the barn came first?  J. Loomis photo

Groundhog Day!  Or so it seems, just one beautiful morning after another, over and over.  We've been very fortunate here and I hope that I didn't just jinx it!

It was 56 degrees this morning, calm, clear and the ocean was, as they say, 'flat as a pancake'.

WARD AVENUE

We ran and walked the MacKerricher Haul Road this morning.  At our 8:00 start, it was 56 degrees with no wind and the sun trying to break through a thin fog.  It was really nice but by our half way point, it was already beginning to be too warm.  We are so spoiled, living here on the coast.
