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.

JSF Rd. 450, Hare Creek

It was again, perfect, this morning. We ran and walked Jackson State Forest Road 450. It was sunny and 51 degrees, the air was calm. Present were: Cheryl, Neil, Tanya, Megan, Fran, Gay, Mark, Tom T., Toni, Larry, Joel, Bob, Nancy T., Roger, Nancy B., Shari, Peter, Nancy and Tom (19). Oh, and Charlene, not there this morning but deserving an honorable mention, since I left her out the past two weeks.

NEXT SUNDAY, July 15th @ 8:00 A.M.: Russian Gulch State Park. See "Our Routes" above.

We, the Fog Dodgers, under the direction of Nancy and myself, have received permission to do minor trail maintenance at the local State Parks. Next Sunday, we will prune some nettles and blackberries and also clean out some of the clogged drainage ditches along the first couple of miles of the Russian Gulch Fern Canyon Trail. You are welcome to bring along a pair of snips, loppers, shovel or hoe, and do a little work during the walk, or returning immediately after the walk. I think that I will bring my little truck and transport any tools to the trail head. I will try to get a few vehicle passes for those wishing to drive to the trail head.  The work should only take between 1 and 2 hours.

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.
