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




Thanks, John, for a couple of Halloween photos

Well, I kind of confused a few people, by throwing in way too many street names and directions but in the end, it all seemed to work out fine.  We were trying out a small deviation to our "regular" Pomo Bluffs run/walk.  I had recently tried for the first time, the Hare Creek Beach Access Trail and wanted everyone else to see how neat it was.  They liked it!

Happy Halloween!

I think it was 52 degrees this morning and very foggy.  Got a good laugh out of a few people we passed on the Coastal Trail, when they read "Fog Dodgers" on Nancy's shirt.  It was a very thick fog and I'm not sure if we were dodging or just cutting through it.

Present today:  Gay, Mark, Nancy B., Rick, Nancy T., Roger, Toni, Shari, Peter, Cheryl N., Neil, Joel, Nicole, John, Nancy and Tom (16).

Coming up in three weeks, we do our 8th Annual Bin 2 Bin 2 Bin Run/Walk.  For any unfamiliar with this one, it simply starts at Harvest Market.  We run/walk into the store and buy a couple of items for the Fort Bragg Food Bank, drop them in their barrel there and go on to do the same at Safeway and Purity.  We finish by making a second trip into Harvest.  Runners can make all four stops easily in an hour and walkers three stops in the same time.

Sunday, November 5th, Van Damme State Park  (Remember the time change)

Sunday, November 12th, Pudding Creek Trestle

Sunday, November 19th, Bin 2 Bin 2 Bin, Harvest Market Thanksgiving Run/Walk (We'll donate a couple cans of food to the Food Bank at each store)

Sunday, November 26th, Noyo Coastal Headlands Trail - North, from the Glass Beach parking lot.  Hopefully,  the north and south halves of the trail are now connected.

Sunday, Dec. 3rd, by request, Ten Mile River Logging  Road, (click on "Our Routes" above).

Sunday, Dec. 10th, Big River Logging Road (Yaaay!  It's open again and the mosquitoes gone at this time of the year.)

NEXT SUNDAY, NOV. 5TH @ 8:00 A.M.,  VAN DAMME STATE PARK  (PACIFIC STANDARD TIME)

EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN @ 7:00 A.M.: MENDOCINO, beginning at the Heeser Drive restrooms.  This will be our last (for awhile) dark run.
