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

Fitness has to be fun.  If it is not play, there will be no fitness.  Play, you see, is the process.  Fitness is merely the product. -- George Sheehan

Oh, where to begin.  Toni and Joe had many family and friends here to celebrate their (Toni and Joe) marriage.  I picked up a half dozen names but have now forgotten them and I apologize.  It takes me several attempts, usually, to remember names.  I can do a few on first try but today it was overload.  It was so nice though, that they all came and what a nice family!

Also, Gay and Mark came with Mark's daughter, Sara.  She has been here with us before.

Fog Dodger regulars today:  Gay, Mark, Nancy T., Roger, Cheryl, Neil, Cindy, Jim, Nancy B., Rick, Pat, Leon, John, Shari, Peter, Greg, Toni, Joe, Nancy and Tom.  At David's Restaurant, there were 20 of us and 13 of the above names were not at breakfast, so I'm thinking that there must have been 33 people this morning!  How nice is that?

Kira continues to do an amazing job of accommodating customers at David's.

We met at Caspar Logging Road this morning.  It was another perfect morning for walking or running, 55 degrees, calm and a thin overcast.  By the time we finished, it was mostly sunny.  Road 600 has seemed pretty nice in the recent past but I guess
the culverts were old or undersized, so the entire road has been
recently graded and tore up, so walking and running on it isn't
the best right now.  It will soon be fine though.

Thanks to John Loomis for our  photos.  Don't forget that you can click on them and see them full sized.   John has a good eye for things that seem interesting.

Hope to see everyone next Sunday at Big River.  If it's 50 degrees or above, don't forget the mosquito repellant.

Oh, and thank you to Rick B., for alerting me, just yesterday, that the blog for last Sunday had not been posted.  I guess I didn’t click on “Publish” hard enough or something, it was still in the “Drafts” folder.



NEXT SUNDAY, DATE @ 8:00 A.M.:  BIG RIVER LOGGING ROAD, 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.
