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.

8th Annual Bin2Bin2Bin


And for the runners, there were two more Bins, having to return from Purity Market, stopping once again at Safeway and ending up at Harvest Market.  Though we are not a large group, every little donation is welcomed by the Food Bank.

This morning, we did our annual good deed for the Food Bank.   It was 39 degrees chilly at our start but there wasn't any wind this year, so really, a pretty nice morning.  I always like going across the Noyo Bridge, but I do not like looking straight down!

John was busy installing windows this morning but was kind enough to send us some photos.  Thanks, John!  Our blog would look naked and not very interesting without his photos.  He's been building a new house for himself and has done most of it single handed.





Walking and running for the Food Bank this morning:  Jan, Bob J., Bob C., Nancy B., Rick, Nancy T., Roger, Shari, Toni, Joe, Nancy and Tom (12).

John titled this photo, "Yesterday's conversation".  Something to think about.

Sunday, November 26th, Noyo Coastal Headlands Trail - North, from the Glass Beach parking lot.  

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



Sunday, Dec. 10th, Caspar Logging Roads (this day was previously scheduled for Big River but I'm not sure if construction there is completed).   We will have our 8th (at least) Annual Pot Luck Breakfast and Cookie Exchange.  It will be at Mark and Gay's home and you can ask me for directions if you need them.  You don't want to miss this event!  You can bring any kind of dish that could be interpreted as breakfast related, and a plate of cookies if you wish to participate in that exchange.  You must take home a plate!

Roger has updated "Our Routes" at the top of the page, thanks Roger!  When you look and see how many different options we have, you wonder why we keep doing the same ones over and over.  Well, there are little glitches with each route and I tend to pick whatever seems to please most of us.  Be sure to let me know if there's one that you want to try again.  Today, Shari suggested a couple of trails around the Pt. Cabrillo area and I'll look into those.  Anyway, Roger has all of the maps looking really good  and it will help us all get to the right starting points.  

NEXT SUNDAY, NOV. 26TH, NOYO COASTAL HEADLANDS TRAIL - NORTH, we can check to see if they are getting close to connecting the two halves.

EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN @ 7:00 A.M.: MENDOCINO, beginning at the Heeser Drive restrooms.
