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



Thanks, John, for this picture of the Pudding Creek Trestle. I can tell that it was not taken this morning by all of the footprints and the afternoon sun. This morning, the wind had blown the beach completely clean and flat. The wind even took John's hat this morning as we crossed the trestle. After the fact editing: I was wrong. It is a sunrise photo and the smoothed sand that I observed was only on the west side of the trestle.

Whoa, it was windy!! This morning, we met at the Pudding Creek Trestle, to run and walk the MacKerricher Haul Road. Temperature would have been okay, since it was 45 but with the wind blowing northwest steadily at 30 plus, it felt darn near freezing!

It was really nice to have Santa Cruz Sarah back for her second run with us and Anthony (Tony) from Healdsburg. Both Sarah and Tony were divisional winners in yesterdays Whale Run. Congrats to Nancy R., also a divisional champion! Also brave enough to run or walk this morning were: Joel, John, Gay, Steve, Nancy B., Rick, Nancy T., Roger, Toni, Cindy, Jim, Nancy and Tom (15). Nine of us joined Sarah's dad, Wynn, at David's for a very nice breakfast.

NEXT SUNDAY, March 25 @ 8:00 A.M.: CASPAR 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.
