RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK

We got to sleep in an extra hour last night and that helped, but it was still awfully cold at our 8:00 a.m. start.  Leon got a new bicycle and so we had four bike riders, that was nice.

They are still working on the Fern Canyon Trail at Russian Gulch, filling in the wet spots with big rocks for drainage and widening the trail.  It's much better now than it has been for the past 10 years or so.

Next week's venue, the Coastal Trail, starting in the middle, works well for all.  It's chosen for Leon, hopefully giving him a better trail for getting familiar with his new bike.  I hope he can make it.
