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.

Big River Logging Road

This morning, we met at Big River. I would say that it was a very successful run/walk, meaning that nobody fell down! It was 51 degrees, calm and overcast at our start and it was really nice to meet two new runners, and Fort Bragg residents, Ginny and Terry. Also present: Nancy T., Roger, John L., Bob, Nancy B., Rick, Jan, Marc, Toni, Gay, Mark, Cindy, Jim, Charlene, Ron, Neil, Steve, Fran (showed up at the Health Club, sorry), Shari, Peter, Nancy and Tom (24). Thank you, John, for the beautiful flower photos. I hear that the dahlias are about at their prime at the Botanical Gardens and we're going there today.

 Kira has been doing such a good job at David's Restaurant, and it has become so popular, there's was a wait to get in the door. Neverless, 10 of us went there, persevered, and had a great breakfast.

We have not gone to Navarro Ridge Road since April. It was mentioned today and I think it's time to go again. It's only a few miles further so I hope that does not deter some of you. It does have one of our favorite Pancake Breakfast and some beautiful countryside and canyon vistas.

NEXT SUNDAY, Aug. 26th @ 8:00 A.M.: Navarro Ridge 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.
