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.

VAN DAMME STATE PARK

Hwy. One Bridge at Van Damme, J. Loomis photo
It was a very pretty morning and also comfortable at 55 degrees with no wind.  There's a forecast for rain this evening and tomorrow and all would say, we are long overdue for that.

We knew that the trail in Fern Canyon would be eroded badly, so no surprise there.  Nobody got stung by a yellow jacket, perhaps because it was still cool and early.  Nancy and our friend, Tony, each got stung near Bridge 9 a couple of weeks ago.  All in all, it was a great morning!
