RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK

This was the first morning, I think, that it was just like one of our summer mornings.  It was 49 degrees, calm and a thick overcast made it feel a little warmer than it was.

John took a photo of part of our group.  We were all jubilant to be out and about and not wearing masks!  In real life though, I think we all look a little better than in picture.  On John's photo, The Lone Ranger seems to have snuck in somehow.  He's still masked.

Present today:  Joe, Toni, Charlene, Bob, Fran, Jean, Pat, Gay, Mark, John, Nancy and Tom (12).

                                               Caspar Creek (or Puddle)

Seems as though most of us have survived Covid-19, will we survive another drought?  Water issues seem to be on everyone's mind.  Fort Bragg and Mendocino both have inadequate water storage and many with wells, are experiencing problems.

         The  Point Cabrillo Lighthouse, J. Loomis photo, as are all of today's photos.

John has many talents.  I don't know how he finds the time to do all that he does.  Lately, with whatever spare time he has had, he decided to move this log up to his house and then carve it into a totem pole!  Now, how will he get it upright?

Next week, we'll stay local but in two weeks, on May 30th, we'll go up to Ward Avenue and while we are there, there will be a -1.5 foot low tide.  That may not excite you but for beachcombers and walkers, that's a good low tide!
