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.

Noyo Headlands Trail - South

It was really a beautiful morning!  At our 8:00 a.m. start it was 57 degrees with a slight breeze.  There was a narrow belt of high fog over us but it was clear out over the ocean and to the east.  As we walked and ran, the fog quickly burned off, revealing beautiful blue skies.  The ocean and whitewater were clear and a little rough.



John took some harbor photos today, thanks John!  John also brought his son, Nicholas.  Thanks for coming Nicholas, you're a good runner!



Present this morning, along with Gay and Mark, was Texas Susan.  Also present:  Zelda, Susan, Bruce, Shari, Nancy B., Rick, Jan, Charlene, Ron, Toni, Nancy and Tom (17).

We haven't ran and walked at Van Damme State Park for a long time, mainly because the trails had fallen trees and lots of muddy puddles.  It should be good now that summer is in high gear so we will try it out next Sunday.  It's a beautiful creekside trail with 10 picturesque bridge crossings of the creek.  Those wanting to walk with their dog, can walk the campgrounds, upper and lower, and also walk the beach.
