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 Logging Roads

"Running is a great investment.  Your principal is low.  Your rate of return is enormous, and it keeps growing every year.  And there are no hidden charges, unless you count an occasional blister." -- Florence Griffith Joyner and John Hanc, Running For Dummies

 This morning was cold (37), clear, calm and beautiful.  We met at the junction of JSF Roads 500 and 600 and then some ran and walked up the hill, while others ran and walked down the hill.  I'll speak for everyone, when I say we had a really nice time.

Present this morning:  Zelda, Barbara, Jennifer, Linda, Tom T., Cheryl, Neil, Orah, Steve, Nichole, Melissa, Katie, Nancy T., Roger, Gay, Mark, Greg, Fran, Nancy B., Rick, John, Rod, Nancy and Tom (24).

In the Advocate News, I read that State Parks is going to be starting a lot of road work on the Big River Road  soon, necessitating closure of the road during the work.  I think we'll run and walk Big River Road (The Ron Jahelka Trail) more often as long as it's open.  So,

 NEXT SUNDAY, 1/19/14 @ 8:00 A.M.: BIG RIVER LOGGING ROAD, See "Our Routes" above.

EVERY TUESDAY @ 7:15 A.M.: RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK, beginning on Point Cabrillo Drive, 1/10 of a mile north of its south end.

EVERY THURSDAY @ 7:15 A.M.: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.
