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.

PUDDING CREEK TRESTLE


It was a really nice morning, sunny and calm, a little hazy, I guess that's because the ocean was all kind of bumpy.  Lots of fishing boats, all kind of clustered, as if a salmon bite is on.

                                                    Pathway at Pudding Creek

Thanks to John for the photos today, all except for the trestle photo below, thanks to Ron for it.

Our friends from Chico, Greg and Keith, were here today.  Also present: Toni, Joe, Diana, Jeff, Shari, Pat, Leon, Charlene, Bob, Nancy and Tom (13).

Town has been very busy lately, much more so than pre-pandemic.  I guess everyone is enjoying travel again, and also getting away from the heat inland.  There's another good minus tide next Sunday, so I think we'll meet at Ward Avenue.  There won't be quite so many people there and if you want to walk on the beach, there will be a lot of it.  

This past week, the mosquitoes of Big River came out with a vengeance, so Big River is out for awhile.

SUNDAY, JULY 25TH @ 8:OO A.M., GROUP RUN, WALK AND BIKE, WARD AVENUE, ( You can always click on "Our Routes" at the top of the page to find out more about our venue and where to park.)

EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN/WALK @ 7:30 A.M.:  Beginning behind the Fort Bragg Fire Station.
