Sunrise 6:58: Giving thanks outdoors

Cassie and the female Dawn Jogger headed out to Arastradero early on this Thanksgiving day. Bowing to the aging dog's enthusiasm for outings in the wild but at a slower pace, they walked rather than jogged. The female DJ figured they would be alone and might be lucky enough to hear some wild turkeys, to mark the occassion. But many others (walkers, joggers, cyclists, and one equestrian) were taking advantage of the blue skies that followed a slight overnight rainfall, including one couple with five large dogs. They bounded up to Cassie eager to greet her; she was patient, if not slightly overwhelmed by their energy. The only disappointment about the near perfect outing was that Silvio's memory chip had been removed last night, so there's no photo to show how truly glorious the morning was.
