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

It was a typical summer morning for the coast - a bit overcast, though it was a very pleasant 55° and no wind. Not only is it a happy Father's Day for all our dad's, but a special day for Tom celebrating his birthday.  However, it wasn't because of sleeping off the after effects of a birthday party, but he and Nancy are collecting their new RV (which, I understand is large enough to hold the Fog Dodger's next pot luck).

It's also the summer solstice, so today we have the most daylight hours for the year.  A great day for a barbeque.  For those that were awake during the short night (like John), may have seen the sliver of the solstice moon last night.

There was a great turnout for today's walk, including - Gay, Mark, Peter, Shari, John, Rick, Nancy B., Charlene, Ron, Toni, Joe, Geri, Tom T., Syd, Lisa & Tabi with Linaea and Zaviar (who had the easiest walk), Michael, Zelda, Roger, Nancy T., Cheryl, Neil.


Neil, living the closest to the walk, proved the empirical law, that arrival time is inversely proportional to distance traveled!

Nine of us enjoyed great company and a good breakfast at David's.  We were lucky to get a table as the line was way down the sidewalk when we left, and the Dad's even got a free cup of coffee.  Thanks Kira.

Again, many thanks to John and Google for the photos.

Our new rv is not quite large enough for the next pot luck but we'd love to show it off. Thank you for the birthday wish and photo. We miss you all!
