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

It's almost winter, though by the thermometer this morning, I think we're there!  It was 30 degrees, plus or minus, depending upon how far you lived from the ocean.  John though, found something blooming, even at this time of the year.  It's a tulip tree and it was at the Botanical Gardens.  Thank you, John, for continuing to supply our blog with nice, interesting photos.


This house in Caspar looks as cold as it was.




We ran and walked on Jackson State Forest Road 500, the Caspar Logging Road, today.  We were pleasantly surprised by the nice turnout.  Present were:  Geri, Tom T., Jan, Gay, Mark, Neil, Fran, Nancy T., Roger, Toni, Joe, John, Nancy B., Nancy and Tom (15).

John's mailbox!
Afterwards, eight of us joined for breakfast at David's, where we and the staff sang Happy Birthday to one of our blushing group.  It was a very nice morning.

Over the past nineteen years, there has been a Fog Dodgers Group Run/Walk on every Sunday.  Twice, there was only one person, but there has always been a run/walk.  Next Sunday is Christmas.  Many of us will be with family or checking out what Santa brought, but at least one of us will be at the run/walk.  I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Hanakkuh!

SUNDAY, DEC. 25TH, NOYO HEADLANDS PARK - SOUTH (yes, somebody will be there)

 NEXT SUNDAY, DEC. 25TH @ 8:00 A.M.: NOYO HEADLANDS PARK - SOUTH
