Birthday Run #2: Tugman State Park / Eel Lake trail O&B w/CA

September 18, 2020 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: warm, humid

Comments:
Drove south to Drain, then over via OR 38 to Reedsport. Midway between Reedsport and Coos Bay there's Tugman Park, which CA has stopped at before to run.

There's a nice (rolling, Sonoma-style) lake ridge trail along the long finger of Eel Lake. Ran a pre-twilight easy run.

Another pretty good feeling run! Man, it's SO great when running feels good and is enjoyable!

Rest of the day:
* jumped in Eel Lake to rinse off
* drove to Coos Bay and got there just before 8pm, in enough time to grab a burger and fries for dinner
Around then it started to rain!
* drove another 45min to Bullards in steady rain punctuated with periods of HEAVY rain!

By the time we got to Bullards, the area was soaked. The whole CG had big ol' puddles. Pulled into C19 campsite behind Alexis and Micah's new rig. We set up our mosquito tent for some (half-assed) rain shelter, so we could enjoy a beer - then later my birthday cake that CA had baked and sneaked along - under the tent!

Fun end to a GREAT day! Feeling hopeful.
