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.

Hare Creek on Father's Day


This morning it was beautiful at Hare Creek. We ran and walked Jackson State Forest 400. I forgot to check the temperature upon leaving my car but I think it was 53. Skies were blue and sunny, though this particular road is mostly in the shade. Anyway, it was really nice. John took this iris picture. The iris' are everywhere and really pretty.

We had a visitor today. Thanks Sarah, for joining us and we look forward to another visit. Also present today: John, Patty, Gay, Mark, Jan, Marc, Peter, Toni, Geri, Maddelyn, Scott, Orah, Steve, Nancy and Tom (16).

Seven of us enjoyed breakfast at David's Deli. At breakfast, Scott told us that he, Maddelyn and the rest of the family are moving to Spokane, WA and this was their last run. We'll miss them all. We are also losing Kim, Brian and Adeline, moving to Colorado Springs, CO. Best wishes to the Blacks and the Butlers. We need to recruit new runners!

Happy Father's Day to all the dads!



NEXT SUNDAY, June 26th @ 8:00 A.M.: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, (see "Our Routes" above). Fern Canyon's trail has dried out enough now but a few trees remain across the trail.

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.

Thanks for the great run and friendly welcome this morning! I'm stoked that I get to run with you all the next time I'm in the neighborhood. If any of you are down on my part of the coast some weekend, come for a trail run with the Santa Cruz Track Club so I can return the hospitality! :)
