Wednesday June 24, 2020 Baxter and I had an interesting walk this morning. It was a foggy morning but frankly kinda eerie. The fog is awesome because it seems to slow down the tourists. This morning was very quiet on the headland, literally. What was odd was that the usual song birds were not out. …
Monday June 22, 2020 Baxter and I did an extra lap around the headland this morning because it felt good but also to burn off the very tasty strawberry rhubarb pie I made and ate yesterday in celebration of Father’s Day. It’s my favorite type of pie made from fresh picked rhubarb we grow in …
Friday June 19, 2020 Baxter and I got out this morning “on time” resulting in a glorious walk by ourselves on Trinidad Head. We don’t have actual assigned time slots but the other fur baby owners also seem to be keeping a self prescribed schedule which paces us all apart. This routine makes for a …
Wednesday June 17, 2020 Baxter and I were running late this morning. It doesn’t sound like a big deal but when you are amongst people who keep a regular schedule it is. Especially if there are dogs involved. We are among a number of people who regularly walk Trinidad Head in the mornings. Many walk …

Sunday June 14, 2020 For today’s walk my husband and I took a gamble that the crowds would be at the beach instead of heading out to Elk Head. It was a gorgeous Sunday and my prediction was correct. Once we walked past the College Cove beach trailhead we had the remaining headland trail almost …
Wednesday June 10, 2020 Baxter and I were back on the headland today. Pulling support from my light weight high-top hiking boots, I was able to take our spin around the headland with no problem or knee irritation. I was worried earlier this week that I might have jeopardized my ability to do so because …
Thursday June 4, 2020 Baxter and I walked our usual route as the fog sifted in and out. Our timing today was less than desirable; lots and lots of dogs out. It’s June and people and their fur babies are definitely getting out more. What that means for me is that my trusty sidekick’s behavior …
Monday, June 1, 2020 This morning’s walk was beautiful. Baxter and I enjoyed a quiet morning on the headland. At this point in time we are all experiencing a lot of external stress. I am personally exhausted and time outside on the trail is helping to keep me sane. It doesn’t solve the world’s problems …
Friday May 29, 2020 It’s a foggy, balmy morning. All is quiet on my part of the north coast. But this morning’s walk came with an unwelcome surprise. While walking the trails my biggest fear is of falling and breaking bones or spraining something. My right ankle has been sprained numerous times during my life …
Tuesday May 26, 2020 Just Baxter and I and four turkey vultures were visible on the headland this morning. These are the morning walks I really enjoy. We had the headland to ourselves. A lot of people are driven by the weather. Today we have light fog which usually means I’ll get the solitude I …
