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.

VAN DAMME STATE PARK


We would have run, really, and we had three walkers willing to go, really, but because of winds gusting up to 45 mph at the time, we decided it was too unsafe to venture in to Van Damme State Park.  Four of us went to breakfast instead.  Tony was trying to meet us for the breakfast but was blocked on her street by a fallen tree.


John has submitted a few pictures here.  I think they capture the day perfectly!  If it weren't raining so hard right now, I'd go out and take a picture of one of my large fir trees that had fallen right down the longitudinal axis of my neighbor's pickup truck!  Luckily, it missed where he was sleeping in a trailer less than 10 feet away!  Thanks for the pictures, John.

It's a little later as I edit this blog, I've got a picture of our neighbor's truck now:

Ouch!  Sorry.

I'm going to count this morning as if there had been a Fog Dodger Group Run/Walk, even though we didn't get too far out of our vehicles.  Breakfast out on Sunday has become a favorite for many of our group and we did at least make that.  So, there has still been a Group Run/Walk every Sunday since July 26, 1998.

Present this morning, and deserving extra credit, Joe, Nancy B., Jennifer, Jan, John, Nancy and Tom (7).
