WARD AVENUE

It was windy and cold this morning at Ward Avenue.  We all wanted to start early.  We walked south and that helped a little, and then once we were used to the temperature and warmed up a bit, it wasn't too terrible.  It always ends up being a nice run or walk.  We're mostly walkers now.

A voting reminder and the flag showing how windy it was today.  Thanks for all of today's photos, John.

BIG RIVER LOGGING ROAD

After a long absence due to our fear of mosquitoes, we returned to one of our favorite venues, Big River.  The mosquitoes were mostly gone, though a couple of our group did report being bothered by them.  It was a good morning for walking and running, 58 degrees, calm and overcast.  

Thanks to John, for all of today's photos.  They were all taken on other days.  The one above is close to what Big River looked like today.

LAGUNA POINT

Good walk today.  Overcast, calm and about 55 degrees, made for perfect conditions for a walk or a run.  The ocean was very calm but there was a small surf break at Virgin Creek and about a dozen surfers were out in what seemed like perfect conditions.
