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.

VAN DAMME

This time we hiked the canyon at VAN DAMME. It was pretty cool but with clear skies. The moon, in half-moon phase, waning, was almost straight up in the sky - very strange. The trail is a bit rough in spots as the old pavement is badly deteriorated. This time the group consisted of Beth, Bob, Deb, Sam, John, Nancy (in spirit anyway), Tom, Joe, Charlene, Eric, Barbara, and Jean.

John provided lots of photos this time:
