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.

Hare Creek

Thank you, John, for the picture of the Swithenbank's orchard and our starting point this morning.

 This morning, we ran and walked at Hare Creek, on JSF Road 400.  It was a very  cold 40 degrees but there was no wind and the skies were clear, therefore not too bad.  I guess that "Snow", that normally nice little dog, took pity on me and tried to warm my leg, yes, he peed on me!!  You are forgiven, Snow. People have accused me of being a skinny "stick person", so I guess that I deserved it!

I think that it was Gay and Mark, that invited first timer, Greg, thank you!  Besides those three, also present were:  Suzanne, Henry, Tonita, Dorothy, Fran, Melissa I., Joe, Kathleen, Craig, Cheryl, Neil, Ginny, Terry, John, Nancy T., Roger,  Sabine, Sean and Tom (22). It seems like there were more and if I forgot you, I apologize.

You don't want to miss next week.  Gay and Mark have offered to host our Annual Potluck Breakfast and Cookie Exchange.  It will immediately follow our run/walk.  They have a wonderful home and make everyone feel so welcomed and comfortable. Gay has said that she will likely do the waffle bar again.  For everyone else, bring any breakfast-like dish that you like.  For the cookie exchange, we have another "rule", that is that you must exchange the cookies that you bring, for an amount almost equal, of other's cookies.  Please, no left overs left behind.  Of course, bringing cookies is optional, if you're like me and can't stop eating them when you get home.  Mark is bringing directions to their home, to the walk/run next week, or just follow someone that has been there before.

 NEXT SUNDAY, DEC. 16TH  @ 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.  From Dec. 18th until the end of January, 7:15 a.m.
