POMO BLUFFS

The rain let up for our morning walk at POMO BLUFFS. It was pretty cool. Some of us hiked south while others hiked north. In attendance were Tom, Eric, Charlene, Cindy, Deb, Sam, Fran, Jean, Shari, Joe, and a newcomer, Kelly (11). When we got back to out cars Shari spotted a whale crossing the Noyo's outflow.

Afterwards a group went to Denny's for breakfast, same place as last week, but at least one went to the Caspar Community Center for their last breakfast of the year.

John sent some photos, not from our walk, but interesting:

PUDDING CREEK TRESTLE

This Sunday we hiked at the PUDDING CREEK TRESTLE. Rain threatened, but was very light. Hiking were Eric, Deb, Sam, John, Kim, Doug and Bowie, Bob (who ran south), Tom, Charlene, Diana, Jeff, Fran with friend Sue Arnold, Jean (good to have her back), Sky, Beth, Bob and Joe

As one might expect a large group went to breakfast at Denny's, where we were joined by newcomer Blanche. The salmon dinner is now one of the more popular choices for breakfast.

MENDOCINO HEADLANDS

Today we hiked the MENDOCINO HEADLANDS. The traffic was light so we pretty much took over the road, only occasionally allowing cars to pass. The group did get strung out into subgroups which ended up taking different routes before converging on Toilet Point. There was a pretty large turnout for the walk: Diana, Jeff, Eric, Tom, Deb, Sam, Sky, John, Joe, Charlene, Shari, Beth, Bob, Fran, Kim, Doug and Bowie.

After the walk our group ate at Saint Anthony's where we were joined by Jean, making a group of ten.

SOUTH HARBOR

This time we did the walk at SOUTH HARBOR. Hiking were John, Eric, Tom, Mark, Charlene, Joe, Sky, Diana, Jeff, Fran, Beth and Bob. Pleasant weather with a sunny sky improved by having just switched from Daylight Savings. The south side of the Noyo is in shade for much of the route but we did make it around the bend to the trailer camping area where the sun was shining.

Denny's was the restaurant of choice this time with seven of us sharing the corner booth.
