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.

Van Damme State Park's Fern Canyon

"My feeling is that any day I am too busy to run is a day that I am too busy." --John Bryant, deputy editor of the London Times, 1994

We walked and ran at Van Damme State Park today.  lt was 45 degrees but Rod and I thought that it was freezing, running along with our hands in our pockets, it took forever to warm up.  Must be the humidity?  I brought along two friends that are visiting here, Nancy and Steve.  Others present today were:  Charlene, Fran, Dorothy, Rod, John, Cheryl, Toni, Joe, Greg, Gay, Mark, Geri, Tom T. and myself (16).  Sure seemed like more than 16, so if I left your name out, I am sorry.  I sometimes get so distracted.

 
As always, thanks John, for the nice photos.   Other than it being a very cold start this morning, Fern Canyon was beautiful and looking very Fall-like.
  

NEXT SUNDAY, DATE @ 8:00 A.M.: CASPAR LOGGING ROADS, parking spot # 3,  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.
