Monday June 29, 2020 Summer weather along the coast of Northern California (actually Oregon too) can vary greatly and create its own challenges. It’s cooler along the coast, which I personally prefer, with temperatures usually averaging between 60-70 degrees. When the winds are calm it is quite comfortable. Last week our mornings included heavy fog …
Friday June 26, 2020 On the trail today I met a woman who unknowingly gave me a lot to think about. We had a brief conversation while passing each other on the trail. She appeared to me to be gliding around the headland like a pro. What I didn’t realize was she was frustrated with …
Thursday June 25, 2020 Today’s walk was once again in the misty and balmy morning fog. The trees were dripping like a drizzling light rain due to the heavy moisture in the air. However, things seemed to have gone back to normal. Unlike yesterday the song birds and crows were present and the fog horn …

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 …
Thursday June 18, 2020 Instead of walking the headland today I opted to do some much needed work in our backyard garden. My maternal grandmother used to say that if you needed to work something out, dig in the dirt. Well it turns out grandma was right! My daily walks meet my workout needs both …
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 …
Friday, June 12, 2020 It’s a Friday in June and I haven’t been on my favorite local beach, Old Home Beach, in awhile so today I opted for that beach walk. I left Baxter at home so I could take my time and also get in some beach combing. Friday’s are generally a great day …
