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, HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Happy Fourth of July everyone and we can sure appreciate living on the coast on days like this! It was 55 degrees under bright blue skies with just a slight breeze this morning. We walked and ran along the Noyo River. Present this morning: Chuck, Geri, Jan, Marc & Java, Nancy B., Orah, Steve, Charlene, Ron, Toni, Peter, Bob, Johnny, John, Hector, Nancy T., Roger, Nancy and Tom (19).

Sixteen of us had a wonderful David's Deli breakfast. Kira, Simone and Skylar did a great job of keeping our coffee cups filled and handling our deviations from the standard menu.

This week, we enjoyed seeing our John Loomis interviewed on "Senior Perspectives", a MCTV Production. I've found out now, that this program can be viewed on-line http://tinyurl.com/3mbsjjb and you can also see our Ron LeValley interviewed. Always gotta put in a plug for our running seniors! These are two multi-talented and very interesting individuals.

Now that the warmer weather and mornings have finally arrived, don't forget to bring your mosquito repellant along on some of our run/walks. You can pretty much bet on mosquitoes when the mornings reach about 50 degrees.

Also got a tip this morning, of an upcoming pot-luck picnic breakfast, thanks Johnny. Stay tuned but I think it may be happening about three weeks from today. That would be July 24th for those of you that don't know when "today" is. We did this once or twice before and it was really nice. Remember, when it was Heather's Birthday? Out at Lake Cleone and Laguna Point area.

NEXT SUNDAY, JULY 10TH @ 8:00 A.M.: RON JAHELKA TRAIL, along Big River, (see "Our Routes" above). Remember the mosquito lotion/spray!

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.
