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.

MacKerricher Haul Road





I bet that some Fog Dodgers walked out the door this morning, found out that it was raining and decided to stay home and read the paper. Had any of you done that, you missed a great big rainbow (meaning there were holes in the clouds and sunshine) and a beautiful morning on the coast. John Loomis got a good picture that shows exactly how the morning was.

I forgot to check the thermometer but when I left home it was 57 and it felt the same at Pudding Creek. It was just a real nice morning for a walk or run.

Thank you, Gay and Mark, for bringing a guest, Betty, and thanks to Neil, for bringing David. Others enjoying the morning were: Nancy T., Roger, Toni, Randy, Nancy B., Rick, Johnny, Bob, Nancy and Tom (15). Nine of us met Brad at David's for a breakfast and lots of talk and problem solving.

And for reading this far, here's a bonus photo:

Next week, by request, we will hold off from my temptation to return to the A&W Road (once again open) and instead,

NEXT SUNDAY, 10/09/11 @ 8:00 A.M.: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, (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.
