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.

CASPAR LOGGING ROAD

What a surprise this morning, mosquitoes!  Though they were only a problem around our start/finish point, we had never experienced mosquitoes on the Caspar Logging Road before.  I was hoping to get in another one or two run/walks at Big River this spring but I see now, that it's already too late.  Must be the many rainy days we've had these past couple of months?


Thanks John L.,  for all of today's photos.  The photo above reminds me of why boaters place a zinc plate near their propellers.  Notice the lack of corrosion beneath the zinc (?) bracket holding Fern Creek DR.


And, there were horses on Fern Creek Drive.  This "Juggling Clown" also came from John.  I'm pretty sure that he made it.


Present today:  Gay, Mark, Lisa, Deb, Sam, Charlene, Ron, Cheryl N., Neil, Nancy B., Rick (Happy Birthday!), Toni, Joe, Shari, Peter, Bob, John, Nancy and Tom (19).


John found the stained glass window on Jefferson Way.  He's always got his eyes looking for a photo.  Thanks again, John.

I picked Ward Avenue for next Sunday's run/walk because there is a real good low ( -0.8 @ 7:30) tide.  If you like looking for sand dollars and other interesting things, this would be your chance.
