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.

Merry Christmas!



Thank you, John, for the seasonal pic!

Merry Christmas, everybody! I didn't know what to expect this morning, kind of guessed that there'd be only 3 or 4 of us (those with OCD?) but what a pleasant surprise, there were 10! Certainly don't blame anyone for being home (or away) with their families on this special morning but for those of us that were able to make it to MacKerricher, we were rewarded with a beautiful morning run or walk. It was 39 degrees, calm and mostly cloudy at the start but coming back saw the low clouds give way to beautiful blue skies and thin high clouds.

Present were: Orah, Steve, Charlene, Ron, Johnny, Tom and we have John to thank for bringing Barbara, his son Jason and future d-i-l, Summer (10). It was a great start to a beautiful Christmas Day.

HELLLLOOOO? I mentioned last week, for the next six months or so, I am going to continue posting the blog but will also moderate a Yahoo Group website. If you will send me your e-mail address ( triley@mcn.org), I will send you an invite to join the Yahoo Group. It will be by invitation only to eliminate any possible spammers and the like. I'm just doing this because I continue to get comments from people that miss the old e-mail reminders. On the Yahoo Group, you can choose to receive an automatic e-mail for each message or to just go to the web site when you're curious as to what is going on. We'll see what happens.

NEXT SUNDAY, NEW YEAR'S DAY, @ 8:00 A.M.: VAN DAMME STATE PARK (see "Our Routes" above. What a great way to start the new year!

EVERY TUESDAY thru 1/17 @ 7:15 A.M. thereafter, 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 @ thru 1/19th, 7:15 A.M., thereafter, 7:00 A.M.: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.
