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

Happy Fourth of July to all!  It was a great morning to be out running and walking.  It was sunny, 53 degrees and a breeze of maybe 4 mph from the south.  It felt kind of cool starting out into the breeze but warm coming back.

Ron chose to run on the beach and missed his turn-around spot since the creek had dried up.  Four of us ran on the Haul Road.  Both John and Ron noticed the busy seagulls just offshore.  John was anxious to get back with his surf net.

J. Loomis photo, I think we have a theme going here.

Next Sunday, we get to run/walk on our newest Coastal Trail, the Noyo Headlands Park - South.  It's access road is just across the highway from Taco Bell.  It's a nice trail with some great ocean views.  Check out Johnson Rock and sit on the bench for a moment, amazing!

 Nine of us had breakfast at David's.  We are all thankful to Toni, for calling in a reservation, as David's is getting busier all the time, especially on holiday weekends.  Great food and service!
