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.

Ten Mile River Logging Road


Seaside Beach, thanks to John L.

It was a beautiful morning, .........................but very cold at 39 degrees and starting into a headwind didn't really help.  On mornings like this, everyone wants to jump the gun a bit.  We ran and walked the Ten Mile River Logging Road.  John's picture above, taken at Seaside Beach, which is about a mile north of our starting point, captures the morning very well.  Seaside Creek, just like Ten Mile River, is closed at the mouth, awaiting enough rain to swell the lagoon and  breach the sand bar keeping it from the ocean.  The water level in Ten Mile River  is about as high as it ever gets and it made for pretty views along today's route.

It was nice to see Hector back again, thanks Orah and Steve.  It was also good to see Sabine and Sean again, their second visit.  Also present today:  Toni, Joe, Ginny, Terry, Joel, John, Neil, Shari, Peter, Nancy T., Roger,  Nancy and Tom (18).


NEXT SUNDAY, OCTOBER 28TH @ 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.
