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.

PUDDING CREEK TRESTLE

It was (is) a beautiful morning, albeit a little chilly.  It was 35 degrees at the Pudding Creek Trestle when we began our run or walk.  Had to be a little careful to not slip on the icy trestle.  No wind this morning though, so we could enjoy the beautiful ocean view with large breaking waves.

Besides being a beautiful morning, it was bittersweet.  Present along with Nancy and Roger were family:  Jakki, Keith, Rachel and Tim.  Also present today:  Sarah and Michael, back for their second visit, Nancy B., Rick, Gay, Mark,  Cindy, Shari, Peter, Toni, Joe, Catherine, Cheryl, Neil, Charlene, Ron, John, Bob, Nancy and Tom (26).  I hope that I got that right.



Because "Blogger" won''t allow me to arrange photos on the page as I would like, and because John sends me many nice photos, I'm just going to kind of throw in several related photos taken near our run/walk today.  Thanks to John for his consistent and diligent photography.

These two hawk photos go together.  They two were taken near Pudding Creek.  Ron will know what kind of hawk this is.
