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.

CASPAR LOGGING ROADS

Point Cabrillo (on a nicer day) J. Loomis photo

I thought it actually pretty nice this morning.  Not quite like the photo above, but pretty good for what I expected.  The forecast was for moderate and heavy rain but we got lucky, just a light rain and not too much wind.  It was 56 degrees and I enjoyed the run.

John couldn't make it but he was nice enough to give us a few "local" photos.  Without his photos, the blog would be pretty boring!

We had 4 runners and 4 walkers this morning:  Susan, Bruce, Joe, Charlene, Ron, Cyd, Nancy and Tom (8).

I haven't been choosing Russian Gulch or Van Damme State Parks lately for several reasons, mainly they're full of puddles, mud holes and they are overgrown.  When the days get longer and drier, we will return.  For the Tuesday and Thursday runners, we will try going back to these runs and back to 7:00 a.m. starts on Feb. 2nd.

Our upcoming schedule, which may change, so check back just before you go.  There's some new routes too!
