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.

The beautiful weather at WARD AVENUE brought out a large group of hikers: Fran; Jean; Nancy; Tom; Diana; Jeff; Eric; Sam; Sky; Cindy; Toni; Joe; Sky; Beth; Bob; and John. We walked south along the old haul road as we usually do. At the outlet of Lake Cleone there had been a major washout and heavy equipment was there to rebuild the road out to Laguna Point. Large piles of bounders were stacked to provide a foundation for the road repair. Most of the road was gone, but it was easy to walk around the washout. Unfortunately the road further ahead, just past the underpass was fenced off and a park ranger was there telling us to proceed no further. But it was almost time to turn around anyway, so we all had a good walk.
