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.

POMO BLUFFS PARK / NOYO BAY

The middle of a 3-day Labor Day Weekend with great weather and where else would you rather be?  The Mendocino Coast is hard to beat.  It was a rare morning, shirt sleeves at 8:00 a.m.


Thanks to John for all of today's photos.  The one above, I think, is the NA Morse Bouy.  If that is correct, then it's a mile out from the mouth of the Noyo River and what mariners use to line up with the Noyo anchorage/river.  It's also a Bell Bouy.  Sea lions love it, as do boats in the fog!  The next bouy coming in is the Whistle Bouy, which is a half mile out from the entrance and the one we often hear.  Good telephoto shot, John! (Or, was he in a boat?)

                                                    Noyo River Sunrise

Present today:  Diana, Jeff, John, Deb, Sam, Shari, Eric, Kim, Doug, Bob, Nancy and Tom (12).


By request, next Sunday we will walk and run at Laguna Point, MacKerricher State Park.  We'll start from the parking lot at the end of Mill Creek Drive,  From the start, you can go any of 3 different ways, N, S or W.


A couple of new sightings this morning, a new navigation bouy in Noyo Bay and a nice,    new, F-350 pickup truck, driven by one of our members!

NEXT SUNDAY, SEPT. 10TH @ 8:00 A.M.: GROUP RUN/WALK/BIKE,  LAGUNA POINT, MACKERRICHER STATE PARK. You can click on the "Our Routes" tab at the top to get directions, usually but not this week! We'll start from the parking lot at the end of Mill Creek Drive.

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