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.

CASPAR LOGGING ROAD

We dodged the holiday crowds for our hike on CASPAR LOGGING ROAD. "Early in the morning" the heat was not bad, a reprieve from the past few days of extraordinary hot and mostly windless days. Hikers were Diana, Jeff, John, Sky, Nancy, Tom, Shari, Jean, Fran, Eric, Zelda, Charlene, Joe, and Pat, with Leon providing moral support.

Afterwards I think it was about eight of us including Peter who ate breakfast at the Good Life.

NEXT SUNDAY,  JULY 14TH @ 8:00 A.M.: GROUP RUN/WALK/BIKE, SPRING RANCH. Park at what used to be the Inn at the Cobbler's Walk (you can still find this on Google Maps) but now has a "Mendocino Realty, Sotheby's" sign and a faded signs saying "Peterson/Headlands Lane". There is a large pine tree that has been blocking the path, but now there is a trail around its root end that allows one to continue (I hiked it last evening out to the coast). The trail is narrow and the grasses are very tall and lush right now but the mud has dried up. I did not get any ticks last evening.

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