RUN WITH THE WIND REPORT
Thanks to all the folks who donated and helped out with the annual Fun Run ( Run With The Wind) event this year. It was a great success and a fun time. We had a ringer this year. Unfortunately I did not get her name but a young lady from Miami Florida (here for the Lord of the Winds) entered at the last minute on a full stomach from breakfast and placed first in the Adult women's and third overall. To see pictures of the event you can go to :

On behalf of the Lord of the Wind crew we want to get the word out that the beach road will be CLOSED to all vehicles/quads beginning Tuesday from SOUTH of Barracuda Blvd to North of the event access road in the first arroyo where it meets the beach. From now on, Barracuda Blvd is not an event access road for any vehicles as it is for medical evacuation ONLY.
