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

Another great day on the Mendocino Coast!   It was 54, sunny, with a thin fog along the coast, and again no rain anywhere in sight.  I actually have a friend that doesn't believe the climate is changing.  You don't bother debating with a friend like that!  He says that the glaciers are not getting smaller.  Oh well.























Several Fog Dodgers received these photos and a page promoting Thanksgiving's  Fog Dodger coffee.  They  will donate 25% of their sales of this brand to the Mendocino Land Trust.  I like the name.

You tell me.  J. Loomis photo


Thanks to Lisa and Tabi.  Besides bringing Linnaea and Zavier, they brought guests, Libby and Reed.  Joel came today as a runner instead of bike rider.  He said that he's getting back into it, but he ran as though he never got too far out of it.  He's been recovering from injuries for quite awhile.  Also present:  Fran, Pat, Leon, Nancy B., Rick, Deb, Sam, Orah, Steve, Shari, Peter, Nancy T., Roger, John, Bob J., Susan, Bruce, Sheila, Joe, Nancy and Tom (28).

Coincidentally, I read yesterday, that spiders spin two different kinds of silk.  The "spokes" are stronger and not sticky, the spirals are not as strong but very sticky, meant to catch things.  Spiders walk on their tip-toes to avoid getting stuck.  How's that?

Next Saturday is the Noyo Run and Wellness Festival.  If you want to run or walk the new (South half) Coastal Trail, this is your chance.  It's not officially opened yet but the City is allowing the race to use it.  Besides the Race/Walk, the Hospital is offering lots of Health Screenings and those things are free, whether or not you go to the race.  It's all good!
