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.

Fern Canyon, Van Damme State Park



We've been having an incredibly long string of beautiful days lately. Seems like about two weeks now. With record flooding in North Dakota, record tornadoes in the mid-country, record fires and droughts throughout the south, we should be thankful. It was a beautiful, sunny morning and 53 degrees at Van Damme this morning.

The trail in Fern Canyon is finally in pretty good shape. There's several tree trunks across the trail that you need to climb over but at least all of the mud has finally dried. At Russian Gulch, the trail is not so good, stinging nettles having just about taken over it.

Thanks, Fran, for bringing Dorothy today. Also present were: Pat, Nancy B., Cindy, Jim, Neil, Suzi, Tanya, Patti, Johnny, John, Charlene, Ron, Toni, Peter, Nancy and Tom (18).
