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.

PUDDING CREEK TRESTLE

today's photos compliments of J. Loomis

 John was out of town today, so I'm using some old photos that he had sent.  They show where we were this morning but do not reflect what we saw.  It was very foggy this morning.  I never even saw the ocean, even though we were within 50 yards of it at times.

We ran on the new coastal trail.  Only the north half of it is open, the south half reportedly will open in several weeks.  We had 5 runners:  Laura, Randy, Cheryl, Nancy and Tom.   Also had 5 walkers:  Shari, Peter, Susan, Bruce and Fran.  A small group, probably because of Wine Song occurring yesterday.

Next Sunday we will meet at one of our best venues, Caspar Logging Road.  The roads there are all Jackson State Forest, so you can walk your dog, ride your bike, walk or run without restrictions.
