VAN DAMME STATE PARK

   
Van Damme Cove looking south.  Again, thanks to John, for all of today's photos.

It was 48 degrees at our starting time, with just a slight breeze hitting us in the face as we went east into Fern Canyon.  It's as pretty as ever but unfortunately, the trail remains muddy and slippery for quite a few areas and eroded badly enough that it is dangerous (as a bike trail) and difficult as a runner or walker.

Mendocino daffodills, early signs of  Spring!

Thanks Shari and Peter for bringing your friends, Annette and Ed.  It was nice meeting and talking with them while walking and over a great Champagne Breakfast at the Little River Inn.

Kelly House/Museum, Mendocino

Also present today:  Fran, Nancy B., Gay, Mark, Toni, Joe, Charlene, Ron, John, Bob, Nancy and Tom (16).

More signs of Spring, J. Loomis photos 

It was a beautiful morning and a very nice run or walk for all.  Top it off with a great breakfast with complementary champagne at the Little River Inn and lots of nice people, it doesn't get better!
