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 Creek Logging Roads




"I act my age better than she does.  And I wash the dishes." ---  Carl Lindgren, Mavis Lindgren's husband, after Mavis completed the 1986 New York Marathon at age 86.
It was a cold (42) and foggy morning on the coast, John sent in the proof.  Thanks, John.  And, because Halloween is in four days, John thought his "lobster dog" was appropriate.   We ran and walked on the Caspar Creek logging roads today,  Jackson State Forest Roads 500 and 600.

  


I love Sunday mornings when new people show up at Fog Dodgers.  This morning, Barbara brought a friend and first timer, Zelda.  Welcome Zelda!  And, it was nice to see Megan back.  Others present today were:  Charlene, Ron, Richard, Philip, John, Joel, Mark, Greg, Toni, Joe, Geri, Tom T., Nancy T., Roger, Nancy and Tom (19).



The circus is in town!

It's been a very long time without any measurable rain.  Looking at the extended forecast, there is a small chance of showers next weekend.  (Have we ever seen a weather service/person accurately predict weather more than a couple of days ahead?)  I don't think so.  In any case, next Sunday we'll take a chance, and do our run/walk at MacKerricher State Park, exposed to the elements.






 NEXT SUNDAY, NOV. 3RD @ 8:00 A.M.:  MACKERRICHER HAUL ROAD,  see "Our Routes" above.  REMEMBER TO CHANGE YOUR CLOCKS!

 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.

NEXT THURSDAY @ 7:00 A.M.:    RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK, beginning on Point Cabrillo Drive, 1/10 of a mile north of its south end.
