Cliffhanger 2010

More than 1300 people participated in the 2010 Cliffhanger race/walk along Cliff Drive Sunday morning....another record. Gladstone Boulevard was packed with cars and folks as the starting point for the race was the east entrance to the Drive.
This post is a sample of the pix I took..... all of them can be seen at: http://gallery.me.com/dremley#100059&bgcolor=black&view=grid

Although the race was a week later than last year, the trees still put on a colorful display and Parks and Rec did an excellent job of cleaning up the Drive. Kudos to Kevin Evans and his crews.

  2. What a perfect weekend for it! I wouldn't have minded being one of the walkers. Cliff and I think the fall colors aren't as pretty as usual, but they're still nice.

  3. I don't think the leaves have been as brilliant as in the past either... perhaps the trees need more stress ... I'm certainly prettier under stress.
