COVID 19, 10 CASPAR LOGGING ROAD

The morning was just right, a thin overcast, calm and 54 degrees.  We had a nice turnout and got to meet Mark and Gay's beautiful new dog "Bartok".  Also rounding out the canine division, Bailey, Otis and Rimsky.
                                                                         
John sent me this photo for the second time.  It was apropos a few years ago and nothing has changed.  A cute photo and a real problem.




Thanks John, for all of today's photos.  Below photo was titled "Caspar Road Shed."








For the bike division today, it was Sam, Bob and Tom.  It was a great ride until a mile from the finish when a stick jumped up thru my rear gears and busted off the derailleur, ouch!  That'll cost me!  Oh well, it was still fun.

In the walking division today, we had:  Susan, Bruce, Charlene, Deb, Fran, Nancy B., Nancy

    T., Gay, Mark, Shari, and Joe.

Finally, in the very small running division: Ron, John and Nancy.  (17)

This group has really gone thru an evolution over the years.  Starting out as a running group, expanding to include walking, and then biking.  We all, myself included, are either old or getting older.  What I'd like to see, is a bunch of younger people enter into it, to kind of keep it going.  If you 

know of any, and it needs to be more than one or 

else they feel out of it, please invite.

  

I think this is something John has created.  He does some great pottery things.  He titled it, "Simpson Lane Greeter".

Below is a pretty rose from John's garden.  He's called it, "Opening Night".

                                 

John spotted this buck in his neighbor's yard.

Just 45 minutes before next weeks run/walk/bike, there is an excellent minus tide.  Since the tide stands slack for a bit before it starts coming back in, I think that it will still be way out there when we start.  Just sayin'.

NEXT SUNDAY, JUNE 7TH, 8:00 A.M.,  GROUP RUN, WALK AND BIKE, WARD AVENUE. There is a -1.7 low tide at 7:16 a.m., so this would be an excellent opportunity for anyone wanting walk the beach.

County Shelter in Place Order continues, pertinent section and current revision copied below:

Allowed: 

• Outdoor Recreation may now be initiated from within a 50 mile drive of one’s residence taking into account the new provisions in the  Facial Covering Order
• When engaging in recreational activities in public, it is recommended that everyone bring a facial covering with them in a safe and accessible location and wear that where it is difficult to comply with social distancing requirements. However, the Order clarifies that for some public recreational activities which cause people to more forcefully expel airborne particles, the six feet social distance requirement may not be enough and may call for additional measures.

EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN AND WALK @ 7:30 A.M.,   for now, we're starting behind the Fort Bragg Fire Station and using the Coastal Trail - Middle access on Tuesdays.  On Thursdays, we are starting at Harvest Market at Mendosa's, Mendocino.
