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.

WARD AVENUE

It was a beautiful, crisp and clear morning at MacKerricher.  It was 38 degrees with a 5 mph wind, but the ocean and surf were so pretty that we didn't notice the cold.

John was away but still gave me a couple of photos for the blog.  Just telling you so that you'll understand why the pictures aren't always of the area of our run/hike.   I think that today's pictures were taken by John while in the Bay Area.  He titled this one  a cypress forest but they look like pine trees to me.  At least I can identify the two birds below, I think.

Present this morning:  Greg, Gay, Mark, Neil, Randy, Janis, Katie, Nancy T., Roger, Toni, Nancy and Tom (12).

Gay told me this morning, that she will again do her Waffle Bar at our potluck breakfast/cookie exchange on the 13th.  So, don't bring waffles but anything else is fair game.  There's always lots of food and Mark and Gay are wonderful hosts.  An added bonus this year, is the "Incredible, Amazing and Beautiful Surprise" that they will show those that come.  I can't say more here but your children and grandchildren would also love it.  Mark will bring a few maps to our run/hike for those that haven't been to their home, or you can easily follow someone else, it's not too far from our run/hike.
