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.

Fantastic morning on coastal trail-north

Today we ran and walked on the Glass Beach Trail. The beach, diminishing in glass, soon to be called the glass sandbox.

It was a balmy 57 degrees with a gentle breeze from the south, perhaps ushering in the next smattering of rain. The ocean was churning ferociously in a display of power and beauty. The clean fresh air was a confirmation of what many already know that the Mendocino coast is home to some of the purest air in the country.

Along the trail were what at first appeared to be droppings from miniature dogs. Later to be correctly identified as goose poop by bird scatology expert Ron L.
The outing was well attended, present were: Fran, Joe, Sam, Deb, Rick, Nancy, Ron, Charlene, Nancy t., Shari, Peter, Cindy, Jim, Sarah & Kiki. Michael, John, and Bob. Hope I included all that were there and spelled names correctly.
