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

What a beautiful morning!  Fortunately for us, we walked and ran in between showers.  For us, the sky was about 50% clear blue, and about %50 fluffy white cumulous clouds.  It was somewhere just south of 50 degrees, just right for running and walking!  The ocean, with large breakers, was spectacular!

Thank you Bill and Jordan, for bringing a new walker, John.  Hopefully he enjoyed the morning and will return.  John recently became a full time local!

   Also present today:  Shari, Nancy T., Roger, Zelda, Nancy B., Rick, Neil, Toni, Joe, Jan, John, Susan, Bruce, Gay and Mark (walked at Point Cabrillo due to my editing the venues!), Nancy and Tom (17).   I told Zelda she gets extra credit today, for showing up even though her power is out.

    The rains and stormy seas have really done a number on MacKerricher Beach and Lake Cleone.  A couple of feet of sand now covers Mill Creek Drive and much of the berm (former railroad!)  separating Lake Cleone from the ocean, has been washed away.  State Park's wish, of bringing back an estuary and doing away with the lake may have been realized.
