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.

WARD AVENUE

We did have an interesting beach walk this morning at low tide, which is special since the sand is firm for walking and the shells are everywhere.  It was misty, foggy, and many birds accompanied us along the way playing in and out with the surf.  Seagulls, Pelicans, a stray Raven, and of course Sanderlings skittering up and down as the waves rolled in.

Present today:  Pat, Leon, Fran, Jean, Cindy, Shari, Toni, Greg, Charlene, Nancy, Tom and John (12).
