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.

BIG RIVER LOGGING ROAD


"Had to hold the herd back this morning.  When it's cold and windy, people want to get moving early, and that's how it was this morning, the group wanted to start two minutes early!  How hard can it be, to remember our only rule?  We start at 8:00, exactly!"

I copied and pasted the above quote from the Dec. 5 blog entry.  I didn't think it had been that long ago.  Again this morning, it was impossible to hold everyone back!  At the mouth of Big River in the morning, you can bet it will be windy.  If it's windy and about 40 degrees, nobody wants to stand and chat.  I'm smiling, folks, I think it's funny that all of you scofflaws can't adhere to the only Fog Dodger rule!

 Several people commented this morning, that it was nice to be back at Big River.  So, by popular demand (?), we'll do it again next Sunday.  The weather is supposed to be pretty nice all week, so it should work out well.  


Besides enjoying being a photographer, John also enjoys sculpting, and gardening, and cooking, and.........so many things!  His sculpture above is currently on display at the Art Center in Mendocino.
