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.

RUSSIAN GULCH

Nancy and I went down to Russian Gulch this morning, just to say hello and give thanks to our guest bloggers, John and Toni.  They combined efforts to write the blog while I was gone.  We had been feeling low from a persistent cough for me and a cold for Nancy.  We had no intention of walking today.

                                      Winter apples.  Thanks to John L. for all of today's photos.

Mornings lately have been very cold.  Then, last night and just before this morning's walk, we had heavy rain showers.  So, I was surprised to find:  Diana, Jeff, Charlene, Joe and John present this morning.  Add Nancy and me and that makes 7 of us.  John tells me that the Russian Gulch trail improvements are very good and that they had a great walk.

There is a lot of rain in the forecast for next week.  I think the Coastal Trail will be the best place to walk or run.  It's not supposed to be too windy, so I can't think of a better place.  We'll start behind the Fire Station, thereby giving us the option of walking either direction.

NEXT SUNDAY, 12/11/22 @ 8:00 A.M.: GROUP RUN/WALK/BIKE, COASTAL TRAIL - MIDDLE.  We'll start behind the Fort Bragg Fire Station.

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