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.

COVID 19, 5 COASTAL TRAIL

   


This morning, we ran and walked the Coastal Trail.  It was foggy and 51 degrees, but on Friday, I walked the same section of trail and the sun was out and so were the flowers.  

This morning, the same flowers were all closed up and not as pretty, but John got a pretty rhododendren taken from his home, along with a nice spider web.


  


Fran was sporting a nice sweatshirt!










Present this morning:  Charlene, Ron, Neil, Shari, Peter, Fran, John, Nancy and Tom (9).

NEXT SUNDAY, 5/3, 8:00 A.M.,  GROUP RUN AND WALK, We've been meeting behind the Fire Station and using the Coastal Trail.  It works well, giving you several directions by which to start.   We've decided to meet there again on Sundays, at least for awhile.  Join us if you wish, keep social distancing in mind and bring a mask.  By combining a walk or run with an essential trip for groceries or to pick up a meal to go, I think, is a way to drive a short distance, for locals at least.

 County Shelter in Place Order continuespertinent section and current revision copied below:

Allowed: 
  • Outdoor Recreation may now be initiated from within a 20 mile drive of one’s residence taking into account the new provisions in the  Facial Covering Order
  • When engaging in recreational activities in public, it is recommended that everyone bring a facial covering with them in a safe and accessible location and wear that where it is difficult to comply with social distancing requirements. However, the Order clarifies that for some public recreational activities which cause people to more forcefully expel airborne particles, the six feet social distance requirement may not be enough and may call for additional measures.
EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN AND WALK @ 7:30 A.M.,   for now, we're starting behind the Fort Bragg Fire Station and using the Coastal Trail - Middle access on Tuesdays.  On Thursdays, we are starting at Harvest Market at Mendosa's, Mendocino.
