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.

Potluck Breakfast Picnic

Sunday the 14th is our Potluck Breakfast Picnic at John's.  I ran and talked with John this morning and he's got things ready.   He's not asking me to say this but I think that I should.   He has rented a Porta Potty ($100) and I think that we all would like to make a small donation (not in the Porta Potty!) to
help out.  I'm going to set out a donation box or can.

For those that are still trying to figure out what they could bring that doesn't need cooking or rewarming, relax.  John says that his "very heavy duty" extension cord has multiple outlets so you should be able to heat or cook something.   What he doesn't have though, is a large griddle, so if someone would really like a pancake, bring batter and griddle (see "New info." below).  There will be a large charcoal grill/bar-b-que and also several range top burners in his tent trailer, which is parked at the picnic site.  Remember also, bring your own coffee carafe or juice and utensils.

Try to come, our potlucks are always fun and there will be plenty of food.  That reminds me, please take home any leftovers from the dish that you brought.  We don't want to end up discarding good food.

New info. as of 7/10,  John has found a large griddle so if you want to cook an egg or bacon, have at it!
Also, at our run/walk, I'll tell you where John's driveway is.  Once you get on his roadway, there are forks, just keep left anytime there is an option.  There is plenty of parking, as long as you pull well off the road, so as not to block other cars coming or going.  It's a very small roadway and it will have you wondering but if you go slow and carefully, you'll survive it.

NEXT SUNDAY, July 14th @ 8:00 A.M.:  Jackson State Forest Rd. 450, see "Our Routes" above. We will follow each other to John's place, which is nearby.

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.
