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

This morning we ran and walked Van Damme State Park's Fern Canyon. We were a small group: Patti, Cindy, Elaine, Charlene, Ron, Bob, Kathy, Steve, Nancy and Tom (10). The weather was perfect for running and walking, 55 degrees with a heavy overcast.

Van Damme's trail is in good shape right now. Each of the log blockages has been cleared and the mud holes have mostly dried. We'll check out Russian Gulch again this Tuesday but as of two weeks ago, it was a real mess with mud and stinging nettles.

Afterwards, six of us had a really nice breakfast at the Little River Inn.

NEXT SUNDAY, AUG. 14TH @ 8:00 A.M.: 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.
