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

Mendocino and Big River
Congratulations runners and walkers for getting up before the sun this morning and making an almost perfect transition to daylight time. Most arrived at Big River early to find a high covering of fog floating slowly down the canyon accompanied by a beautiful and refreshing stiff breeze from the east 38 degrees cool.
Little Lake House
Although one or two walkers strayed in on the heels of the starters Fran made sure the action started promptly at 8 AM ensuring that the only one Fog Dodger rule remained untarnished. And once again unfettered, fleet feet found firm footing on the Ron Jahleka Trail. Present were Greg, Fran, Charlene, John, Cheryl W., Terry, Ginny, Mark, Gay, Craig, Mary Ellen, Neil, Cheryl, Joe, and Bob. Please excuse if I have omitted anyone that was present and be sure to go to the comment page and announce your participation. At the end of the run we were rewarded with some blue sky and the promise of a spectacular day.
Once again, thanks to John for the photos.  Nice morning shot of the cottage - but I have no idea where it is!

NEXT SUNDAY, DATE @ 8:00 A.M.: CASPAR LOGGING ROAD (JACKSON STATE FOREST ROAD 500) - See Our Routes above
