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.

GLASS BEACH

This time we hiked south on the coastal trail from GLASS BEACH, a very pleasant walk. Along the way someone spotted a bald eagle perched (see photo below). Hiking were Kim, Doug, Pat (with Leon staying behind), Beth, Bob, Nancy, Tom, Sky, Mark, Charlene, Deb, Sam, Jean, Joe, and Bonnie.

Afterwards eight of us went to Cafe One for a very nice breakfast.

MENDOCINO HEADLANS AND TOWNSHIP

A rare day on the Mendocino Coast.  Warm, just a gentle breeze, and beautiful blue sky dotted with cumulus clouds, couldn't have been prettier.

Pat and Leon brought along a couple they know from Houston, Sherry (sp.?) and Gary.  Also present: Zelda, Richard, Eve, Gary, Chris, Dave, Sky, Deb, Sam, Eric, Charlene, Jean, Mark, Beth, Bob, Bob C., John, Nancy and Tom (23, and I may have missed someone, sorry).

Thanks to John for today's pretty pictures.  Checkout his home garden vegetable harvest!

RUSSIAN GULCH

It was foggy and drizzly at Russian Gulch.  We had a good turnout.  I've been "fighting" with "Blogger" here for several hours and finally just deleted everything.  I'm going to keep this breif and get John's photos in and do the usual Roll Call.

Present today: Deb, Sam, Pat, Leon (momentarily), Barbara, Fran, Jean, John, Bob C., Bob D., Beth, Eve, Gary, Kelly, Sky, Nancy and Tom (17).









NEXT SUNDAY, July 12th @ 8:00 A.M.: GROUP RUN/WALK/BIKE, Mendocino Headlands and township.  You can click on the "Our Routes" tab at the top to get directions, if needed.
