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.

Dialing for Daylight - Big River

This morning, with crumpled circadian clocks and broken biorhythms, the Fog Dodgers ventured out to an ideal place for running and walking. The place is Big River, aka the Ron Jaleka trail, located 2,385 miles north of Zihuatanejo and 21 miles south of Abalobadiah.

Everyone arrived in good spirits and the magnificence of Big River did not disappoint. The sun was out, the sky was brilliant blue with spectacular streaks of soft sunlit white and gray clouds. The river looked calm and inviting with extraordinary hues of brown and green. The air was a chilly 42 degrees but after a short distance up the river it became quite pleasant.

Drivers and passengers that came today were happy to see that the road to the trail head was in  much improved condition as the potholes had been filled and bladed over. Present were Rick, Nancy, Bob J. (good to see you again), Keith, Greg, Fran (she made sure we started on time), Joe, and Bob (waiting for prop 7 implementation).



John was away and could not provide photos. I tossed these in just because the blog doesn't seem the same without something to look at. John we miss you and your pics.

Remember next Saturday March 16 is the Whale Run and Walk. Come out and support Soroptimist in granting scholarships to our local youth.

NEXT SUNDAY, March 17th @ 8:00 A.M.: Pomo Bluff Park
EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN @ 7:00 A.M.: BIG RIVER LOGGING ROAD on Tuesday and Mendocino Headlands and town on Thursdays.
