CASPAR LOGGING ROAD

It was windy this morning along the coast, so it was good that we were kind of sheltered back in Jackson State Forest.  When we started, it was 53 with clear skies.  The trees made it such that we just had a little breeze.

Thanks to John, for all of today's photos.

Present today: Fran, Nancy B., Pat, Leon, Susan, Bruce, Charlene, Ron, Cheryl N., Neil, Joe, Deb, Sam, John, Bob, Nancy T., Shari, Nancy and Tom (19).

I am sad that there were only 3 runners today.  One on the disabled list feels that he is almost ready to resume but the fact is, we are aging out.  Nothing wrong with being a walking group but the coast needs a running group also.

Masks are required now if you can't social distance outdoors

Next weekend is the Fourth of July and town will be busy but by starting at 8, I think we will be okay.

FATHER'S DAY, COASTAL TRAIL - MIDDLE

It was a beautiful morning today, sunny, calm and 57 degrees.  We met at the Middle access point to the Coastal Trail.  Most of the group went north and a few went south.  Whichever way you chose, it was a perfect morning!  Happy Father's Day to all the dads!

COASTAL TRAIL - MIDDLE

The COVID 19 restrictions were eased up this week.  It's debatable whether or not too early.  But, it was a beautiful, warm morning and it was nice to see tourists out and at the motels.  We are still limited in venues for various reasons.  I'll try not to choose the Coastal Trail too many times but it works for all of us.  Next Sunday, we'll be the same as today's.

Present today:  Gay, Mark, Nancy T., Nancy B., Fran, Shari, Charlene, Ron, Cheryl N., Neil, Scott, Deb, Sam, Bob, John, Toni, Joe, Susan, Bruce, Pat, Leon, Nancy and Tom ( 23).

Thank you, John, for all of today's photos.  They are all from Noyo Harbor.

                             


It was 56 degrees when we started out, very warm.  The ocean was dark blue with small white waves and salmon boats were scattered around trolling.  A beautiful morning.

COVID 19, 11 WARD AVENUE

Red winged blackbird

It was a great morning to be out!  We started at 8, with mostly clear skies, 53 degrees and just a slight breeze.

A minus tide (-1.7') made for good walking and almost good running along the water's edge.  It's always fun to search for shells and whatever else the tide may have left exposed.

Present today:  Cheryl N., Neil, Gay, Mark, Fran, Deb, Sam, Charlene, Ron, Toni, Joe, John, Scott, Bob, Shari, Nancy and Tom (17).

Thanks, John, for all of today's photos.  

This was our 13th run/walk/bike since the Shelter In Place Order  was announced.  Things  
are beginning to normalize.  We all keep our masks ready or already on our faces.  We are fortunate to have the Coastal Trail.  Next week, we will again start 

Sam!

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.
