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.

We tried a new route this time. Starting at the usual spot for a hike on Heeser Drive on the Mendocino Headlands we walked North along Lansing Street and then north over the Jack Peters Bridge using the new footpath recently added on the west side of the bridge. Then we got off the highway and followed Route 500D to its end just to the south of Russian Gulch State Park. Hiking were John, Nancy, Tom, Shari, Deb, Sam, Eve, Gary, Eric, Fran, Kelly, Lynne, Jean, Mark, and Joe. We were shortly joined by Bob who was running down Lansing. Later we learned that Sky had attempted to join us, but had taken the old Mendocino Headlands loop instead. Fran also had taken a shorter hike.

Most of us went to breakfast at Tony's (St Anthony's) for their pancake breakfast. There we were joined by Claudette, Beth and Bob.
