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.

Big River Logging Road



It was 59 degrees, overcast and calm at Big River this morning, perfect weather for the mosquitoes.  Surprisingly, they weren't too bad at the beginning.  I'm not sure how it was for walking but it was okay throughout our run.  I suspect that a few stayed home though, because of these.

All photos are from John, thanks.




I wasn't as worried about the mosquitoes as I was about tripping and falling, having done just that twice over the past two weeks.   They really don't want to see me at the hospital again.  They say I should be doing Tai Chi and not running.





Present today:  Fran, Neil, Tom T., Cheryl, Laura, Charlene, Ron, Toni, Nancy B., Deb, Sam, Shari, John, Cyd, Jackie, Nancy and Tom (17).

It was a nice run today and next week should be even better, for walkers especially, no mosquitoes!  The Caspar Logging Roads offer several different options and should be a quiet place to escape the busy holiday weekend on the coast.


One of John's plum trees.  Thank you, John, for all of today's photos.
