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.

Sunday, August 22, 2010

This morning, we were on Navarro Ridge Road, running, walking and biking. It was a picture perfect morning to be out, 51, sunny and calm. There were great views of the fog in the Navarro River Canyon below us, just a very pretty morning.

First off, my apologies to Roger for removing him from the group two weeks ago (at least in print) and giving his wife, Nancy, daughter Jacqui, son-in-law Gavin and three grandchildren to Peter. Peter didn't complain though, they're all great people. Due to some glitch in the blog mechanics, I haven't been able to edit that blog (Aug. 8th's) yet.

I hope the blog format is working okay for everybody. Today, I had one comment from a member that loved it. I've also had a couple of comments not liking it. I think that in the long run, it's going to work out for the best. Remember, you can always post a comment at the end of each blog. Feel free to correct me when I insert your name into the wrong family or if my watch gets to be 16 seconds off again, whatever, the blog is for all of us.

Present today were: Fran, John, Bob, Laurie, Cindy, Jim, Peter, Charlene, Ron, Maddelyn, Scott, Toni, Randy F., Nancy and Tom (15). Afterwards, I think (we couldn't sit together) all 15 of us enjoyed the Whitesboro Grange Pancake Breakfast.

NEXT SUNDAY, 8/29/10 @ 8:00 A.M.:  RON JAHELKA TRAIL, along Big River, beginning 1/2 mile east of Hwy. One (see "Our routes" tab above). It's actually been 3 months since we last did this road.

In two weeks, 9/5/2010, we will meet up north on the Ten Mile River Logging Road. The blackberries should be plentiful for those that want to bring a bucket or ziploc.

EVERY TUESDAY @ 7:00 A.M.: RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK, beginning on Point Cabrillo Drive, 1/10 of a mile north of it's south end. EVERY THURSDAY @ 7:00 A.M.: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.
