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


John Loomis photos, Van Damme State Park, on our Thursday morning run. Thank you, John.

I've heard mention several times something called "Tom's Time". I guess it has something to do with our only Fog Dodger "Rule", that we always start at exactly 8:00 a.m. This morning, I decided to test this rule. Arriving 15 seconds after 8:00, I was sooooo happy to see the Fog Dodgers just heading across the highway, meaning that they started at precisely 8:00! Ron proudly claimed credit for having just checked his watch, setting it to the exact time by World Standards or something. Thanks Ron!

While mentioning Ron, I heard today that he has an excellent collection of Winter Landbirds on display at College of the Redwoods. It was said that anyone would enjoy seeing these and can do so at any time, as long as the college's front door is open, they're in the lobby.

Arriving 15 seconds late this morning, I'll apologize now if your name is omitted here. Those I saw were: John, Ron, Cindy, Jim, Elaine, Nancy B., Rick, Mark, Heather, Fran, Geri and Tom (12). Must have missed somebody, hmmm?


NEXT SUNDAY, 10/16/11 @ 8:00 A.M.: A&W LOGGING ROAD, aka Noyo River Logging Road, (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.
