Morning all ... sightseeing today in virtual holiday world ...

Well, the Redding Sheraton seems OK. Short run to the Sundial Bridge – seems popular for weddings.
You can see the morning started a bit wet, then suddenly got bright and sunny. All before breakfast.





Today’s trip - off to the east for Lassen Volcanic National park and Lassen National Forest. But avoiding that Route 36 ‘dangerous bends’ road.
More amazing lake views and walks.






Could probably spend a lot more time here. Inland can be as good as coast.

Lovely run and ice cream with TeeBee yesterday, and surprisingly few walking breaks considering my usual crap running! She’s a great local guide :)

'dink' is the perfect name for a baby donk!

A herd of dinks sweeping magnificently across the plains! :-)

Makes Englebert Humperdinck sound very inappropriate, though.

The dinks here, NF, real world, not 'not holiday' are now at the donk stage. From yesterday




And for balance, a foal who may think he's a giraffe. But seems the legs are too long for the neck.

About This Thread

Maintained by Serendippily
Welcome to the 700 miles in 2020 thread, everybody welcome. The thread motto is:
'700 miles is neither necessary nor sufficient'

At normal times: All you have to do is run about 1.91 miles per day or 13.46 miles per week or 58.33 miles per month and take a picture when you get to 700 miles. Extra points for bins :-) And if you go under or over 700 miles nobody will mind.
