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.

A&W Logging Road

It was 41, sunny and calm this morning as we met at the Fort Bragg Police Department. Johnny brought an example, or a duplicate model of, The Golden Egg. Last week, in the Annual Easter Egg Hunt, The Golden Egg mysteriously disappeared and as best as we can figure, it had to have been taken by a squirrel or dog or ?????

We were all early and talkative this morning. Present were: Geri, Jan, Marc, John, Johnny, Cindy, Jim, Fran, Randy, Melissa I., Bob, Gay, Mark, Nancy and Tom (15). Fifteen of us started at 8:00 sharp but then John, Jan, Marc, Nancy and Tom turned around after just ten minutes and returned to go to the Boontling Classic. I'm not sure if any of the others went to breakfast after the run/walk or where they may have gone.

Congratulations to Nancy and to Marc for First Place finishes, Marc for 1st overall walker and Nancy, 1st runner in her age group. Tom (just a little ahead of John) got Third in his running group and Jan got 3rd Place overall female walker. Seems like the Anderson Valley is still "closed for winter" as we tried two different restaurants for lunch to no avail.


Thanks to Rick B. for the Big River photo. It's where we'll be next week.

NEXT SUNDAY, MAY 8TH, @ 8:00 A.M.: THE RON JAHELKA TRAIL along Big River, (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 its south end.

EVERY THURSDAY @ 7:00 A.M.: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.

I didn't recall any talk about Boontling before we left, so I was a bit surprised to come back right about 9 and only Gay and Mark were waiting on me! Then I went to David's, and had breakfast by myself. It was great, and the conversation was just as spirited as usual! See you guys in 2 weeks.
