CASPAR LOGGING ROAD

Gone for Thanksgiving, I do not have any posts from those who attended the walk/run on Sun. Nov. 27th

I know Tom went down south with Nancy and I also went down to Los Angeles via Monterey and Morro Bay. I did enjoy the Torrance Turkey Trot with about 4500 other walkers and especially fast runners.  It is a fun event to attend and many prizes are given out at the end of the walk/run including about 25 nice bicycles.

The pictures were taken on another Caspar Walk and Runs in the past.

From Toni: I'm late doing the blog and it looks like someone else wrote it but I'll add that it was a lovely chilly morning and we all had a great walk at Caspar Logging Road. Present were Shari, Jean, Gay, Mark, Joe, Toni, Sky, Charlene, Tom and his dog, and Fran.

From  Tom, on 12/1.  It was nice to return from our short trip and find that John and Toni got the blog posted.  It's nice also, to know that there are capable hands to take over when necessary.  The blog, or in the old days an email, has been posted every week since July of 1998.  Thank you John and Toni.  We look forward to seeing everyone at Russian Gulch.

NEXT SUNDAY, 12/4/22 @ 8:00 A.M.: GROUP RUN/WALK/BIKE, Russian Gulch (trail) beach or campground and beyond

EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN/WALK @ 7:30 A.M.: COASTAL TRAIL - MIDDLE, behind the Fort Bragg Fire Station.

It was a beautiful and very clear morning.  It was very cold, but since there was little wind, it made it just nice!  I think it was about 39 degrees.

Thanks to John for today's picturres and artwork.  I'm guessing that he is the artist for the First American above.  Regarding the Thanksgiving Coffee mural below, I don't get it.  Maybe somebody can explain it to me.

 

Present today:  Gay, Mark, Morning, Fran, Jean, Charlene, John, Toni, Joe, Shari, Kim, Doug, Deb, Sam, Nancy and Tom (16).  I hope that my putting the wrong date for today's walk on last week's blog didn't confuse anyone.

Next week, Caspar Logging Road was suggested.  We haven't been there for quite awhile, let's do it!  Hope to see you there.  And, in the meantime, I hope that everyone has a nice Thanksgiving.

BIG RIVER LOGGING ROAD

Like so many times at Big River during the cooler months, it was hard to hold back the herd.  It was a little windy at 7:58 and about 39 degrees, so naturally everyone wanted to get moving.  We waited (??) until 8 though and then proceeded to have a nice walk.  Nancy was our only runner this day.

Present today:  Toni, Joe, Deb, Sam, Charlene, Fran, Shari, Barbara, Sky, Diana, Jeff, John, Nancy and Tom (14).

POINT CABRILLO LIGHTHOUSE

Point Cabrillo Lighthouse today.  We were fortunate to catch a break between storm (?) fronts this morning and had a nice walk down to the lighthouse.  Yesterday's rain though, kept us from being able to get in the required time and distance that would negate the calories most of us consume in our post walk breakfast.  The side trails and grasses were all too wet or muddy, so we stuck to the main driveway.

Thanks to John for today's photos.  They depict the season and the local area.  

                                         

Present today:  Charlene, Toni, Joe, Sky, Barbara, Kim, Doug, Deb, Sam, John, Diana, Jeff, Nancy and Tom (14).

With several rains predicted for the coming week, and because next Sunday is the second Sunday of the  month (St. Anthony's Pancake Breakfast), I'm choosing Big River for our run/walk.  On the Big River Logging Road, you can usually get around the puddles.

NEXT SUNDAY, NOV. 12TH @ 8:00 A.M.: GROUP RUN/WALK/BIKE  BIG RIVER LOGGING ROAD.
