The Fog Dodgers invite all residents and visitors of the Mendocino Coast to join us on our weekly group runs and walks. We have runners and walkers of all abilities (and even some bikers) and we have only one "rule" - we start at exactly 8:00 a.m. on Sundays. Exercise at your own pace (1/2 hour out, 1/2 hour back) and experience the fresh Mendocino coastal air.

Fog Dodgers provides a fun, safe way to explore some of our local trails and back roads and to meet new friends. You can find out where we're going to be by reading the bottom of last week's post, then clicking on the "Our Routes" tab above. We average 15-20 persons each Sunday and typically half will go to breakfast together afterwards at a nearby restaurant.

Ron Jahelka Trail, Big River

This crisp morning didn't stop quite a few folks from showing up at Big River. Apparently, some of you have been away long enough you had to introduce yourselves to the "regulars"! Though in the mid 40's when we started, it warmed up nicely, with no breeze to keep the mosquitoes at bay -- I think some of them hadn't eaten in 3 months....

Just a reminder, on Sundays we still take off at 8 sharp, with or without you, even when Tom isn't here. Present today were John, Jim, Cindy, Sam, Deb, Peter, Nancy B., Roger, Nancy T., Joyce, Bob, Melissa, Marc, Scott, Kennedy, Maddelyn, Steve, Kathy, Randy, Heather, Fran, Laurie and Johnny (23). Wow, super job folks! Afterward, a few of us enjoyed breakfast at Bayview Cafe, with free coffee and no automatic gratuity!

NEXT SUNDAY, 9/5/10 @ 8 AM:  Ten Mile River Logging Road (See "Our Routes" tab above). As Tom pointed out last week, the blackberries should be out in force (the most plentiful a couple of miles down the road) for those who wouldn't otherwise make the trip up there to pick them. See you then!

EVERY TUESDAY @ 7 AM: RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK, beginning on Point Cabrillo Drive, 1/10 of a mile north of its south end.

EVERY THURSDAY @ 7 AM: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.
