Went for a walk jog along the JRT and reflected about the trip my family and I made to the Oregon coast. I wasn't able to run during that vacation however that is ok. It rained most of the days while we were there. Rain gear and boots made the difference while exploring among the rocks and tide pools and also fishing for crab. Card games with family during the evening. The weather broke finally and our last day there was golden.
