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.

Van Damme State Park's Fern Canyon


It had been two months since we ran, walked and biked Van Damme's Fern Canyon. We had avoided it because of muddy trails. Well, this morning it was doable and things there are looking pretty good. Now that trails are drying out as the days get longer, this trail should stay good. That's a good thing as it is the Fog Dodgers favorite venue. It was a beautiful morning today, 45 degrees with clear blue skies.

Present today were: Elaine, Deb, Kim, Nancy T., Roger, Mark, Randy E., Maddelyn, Scott, Charlene, Ron, Rod, John, Bob, Toni, Randy F., Orah, Steve, Nancy and Tom (20). Thank you J. Loomis for the Van Damme photo.

Nine of us enjoyed breakfast at David's Restaurant afterward.

NEXT SUNDAY, Feb. 13th @ 8:00 A.M.: JACKSON STATE FOREST ROAD 450, along the south side of Hare Creek. (see "Our Routes" above)

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.
