MENDOCINO HEADLANDS AND TOWN

Courthouse Fountain, Santa Barbara, CA

You wonder, what does the Courthouse Fountain in Santa Barbara have to do with this area?  Nothing.  But, it's a way of passing on a "hello" from Greg and Keith.  It's a post card sent to me from those two, as way of saying they've been enjoying their "pretend local existence" in that city.  They are nearing the end of a one month trial and then will move on to the next city on their list of possibles.  They wanted me to say hello to all Fog Dodgers.

This past Sunday, it seems so long ago, we met in Mendocino and ran and walked around the town and the Heeser Drive Headlands State Park.  Present were:  Joe, Nancy T., Bob, Nancy B., John, Deb, Sam, Nancy and Tom (9).  We enjoyed breakfast at the Little River Inn afterwards.

I felt a little guilty for running around as though everything was normal, when terrible winds and fires were going on just east of us.  Later in the week, these winds and fires were all over California.  We lost our electric power for 5 days but many people lost so much more.

We move our clocks back an hour this Saturday night (Sunday morning if you want to get up at 2:00 to do it properly), so our start at Pudding Creek won't seem quite so early.  I hope to see you there.
