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 ROAD (a.k.a. THE RON JAHELKA TRAIL)

 It's a good time of year to hike Big River: no mosquitos; nice and cool, but we were spared the icy winds; and the road is in pretty good shape. This time we had a new hiker, Mark Alexander, who was trying out Fogdodgers. Besides Mark, there were Deb, Sam, Bob, Charlene, Shari, Nancy, Tom, John, Sky, Joe and Kim, with a very confused Bowie, looking for his other master. There has been a lot of work at the old quarry on the north side of the road. On returning from the hike we were greeted by Sam with libations: samples of his home pressed cider. Quite a treat!

Afterwards eight of us went to the Good Life Cafe where a couple of us tried one of the specials, huckleberry pancakes.
