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.

POMO BLUFFS - NOYO BAY


It was a gorgeous morning!  John's photo below shows what it was like at our 8:00 start, 56 degrees, sunny and calm.  As I write this, it is 84 degrees and climbing, not our average day.

It's really nice, to run across the Noyo Bridge and out and around on our new Coastal Trails.  When the north and south halves finally get connected, it will be a great resource for our community.  It already is!

I've been told that the Fern Canyon Trail at Van Damme has been cleared of fallen trees and is in pretty good shape.  So, I reinserted it into our venues and we'll check it out in two weeks.  If you're walking with a four legged friend, you can still do this walk, just take the road to the upper meadow campground instead of going up the creek.  While in this area, many like the Champagne Brunch at the Little River Inn after their run/walk.
