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

 “I like long walks, especialy when they are taken by people who annoy me.”
― Noël Coward

A good week on the coast  Plenty of rain and still very warm - in fact so warm our apple tree recently sent out new blossoms!  And a beautiful morning for walking.  In fact it turned out to be too warm for many of us that started out wearing a jacket.

Today's blog is a result of teamwork.  Nacy B. took names and I'm writing the blog in Tom's absence.  So, present today were Charlene plus neighbors Richard and Caroline, Donna, Fay, Gay, Geri, Jennifer, Joe, John L., Mark, Nancy B., Nancy T., Neil, Peter, Rick B., Roger, Sharri, Suzie and friend Anne, Toni (21).  Nine of us then went to Little River Inn for a great breakfast, to try and undo the damage we did walking.

Tom's already selected the walk for next week so see you all Pudding Creek Trestle.   
Don't forget, next week is also the Annual Pot Luck Breakfast and Cookie Exchange, at Tom and Nancy's.

NEXT SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14TH, PUDDING CREEK TRESTLE, followed with our Annual Pot Luck Breakfast and Cookie Exchange, at Tom and Nancy's.   Bring any breakfast related item that you'd like.  You'll be able to follow someone after the walk if needed or ask Tom for written directions.  See you at Pudding Creek!

Oh yes, almost forgot, if you bring cookies to exchange, you must take cookies home.  Not fair to leave excess cookies behind for Tom.
 
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.
