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



We had a good, cool, or cold morning at Big River.  It wasn't too windy, so nobody tried to jump the gun, as often happens there.  It was 36 degrees with a light breeze.

                                          A very pretty ocean this morning.  Mendocino.

                                                   King Boletus, on Pallette Dr., Mendocino



Ravens kind of let us down today.  Their web page says that "Walk-ins are welcome", but when 8 or 9 of us arrived this morning, we were told that because of staff shortages, or some other reason, they couldn't handle unregistered guests.  We ended up happy and full after visiting the Good Life Cafe.


                                         

Thanks to John for all of today's photos.  

Present today:  Morning, Jerry, John, Kim, Doug, Shari, Diana, Jeff, Charlene, Bob, Nancy and Tom (12).  

Nancy and I are hoping to do quite a bit more traveling, now that we are post-pandemic (??).  Besides Covid, we were also going through a move into town and a remodel project.  I've got a few "Golden Years" left and I'm anxious to try out the new motorhome.  I'm hoping that someone in our group will volunteer to take over as Main Blogger.  It's not difficult, believe me, I've been doing an email or a blog for 24 years now, and it's a great way to remember everyone's name.  We have a couple of other Authors that can usually fill in when you're not available.  Please let me know if you want to give it a try.  Thank you.

I think it's once every seven years that Christmas and New Year's fall on Sunday.  Next Sunday is Christmas.  We'll still have a walk or run, not sure who will be in town.  For now, the long range weather forecast predicts a warmer morning and no rain.  Hope to see you, but if you can't make it, have a Merry Christmas!

NEXT SUNDAY, 12/25/22 @ 8:00 A.M.: GROUP RUN/WALK/BIKE, COASTAL TRAIL - SOUTH (west of Taco Bell).  You can click on the "Our Routes" tab at the top to get directions, if needed.

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