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.

Jackson State Forest, Road 450

 Every mile is two in winter.
    - George Herbert (1593 - 1633)

Good day to be wearing your parka.  Not like Bob who was sporting some fine bare legs.  Brrrrr. It was 30 deg  - what "we" would call Brass Monkey weather.  For those that aren't British - click here for more information.

However, there was no wind and it was just a beautiful, crisp morning.  On the return journey, I think everyone had removed hats, gloves, coats.....but  the cars were still covered in frost when we returned.

To enjoy today's weather and fine company were, Bob, Fran, Fay, Greg, Ron, Charlene, Toni, Joe, Neil, Barbara, Roger, Nancy and of course John, who once again arrived while some of us were still sleeping, to get these fine photos.

Don't forget next week is the annual Pot Luck and cookie exchange at Tom & Nancy's house.  For those that don't know where that is, here's the address - 31491 Camille Dr - click here for map .  I chose "Gravel Pit" or JSF Road 400 for the next walk, I know it's not the most popular, but it's close to Tom's house, which really will be the main reason for getting up next Sunday.
NEXT SUNDAY, DATE @ 8:00 A.M.: HARE CREEK, JACKSON STATE FOREST ROAD 400 - see 'Our Route's 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.
EVERY THURSDAY @ 7:00 A.M.: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.

Roger is much more adept on the computer than I and always writes a delightful blog. Thanks for the link to "Phrase Finder", a fun read. Now I am versed on Brass Monkeys, thanks Roger.
