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.

Caspar Logging Road


  John was not here this morning but I think he'd like to see a photo he took from Caspar about 7 years ago.  I suppose that this morning's sunrise would have been about like this, if you lived in a little ways from the ocean??  For us Fog Dodgers, it was almost a summer-like morning, with a heavy overcast that kept it a warm 54 degrees.  It was nice for walking or running.

We needed a run or walk, or at least I did, and the extra few pounds I'm carrying seemed really heavy on this steady uphill Caspar Logging Road.   Coming back down seemed really easy though, more mass, gravity, inertia or whatever.  I hope that those not with us today are having a great Thanksgiving weekend.

Present this morning:  Kathleen, Craig, Nancy B., Cindy, Jim, Gay, Mark, Toni, Ginny, Terry, Nancy T., Roger, Caspar the Friendly Ghost (who was that lady??), Fran, Nancy and Tom (15).  Eight of us had a very good breakfast at David's Restaurant.


NEXT SUNDAY, DECEMBER  2 @ 8:00 A.M.: MACKERRICHER HAUL 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.
