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.

April 18, 2010

This morning's run/walk was on the MacKerricher Haul Road. You never know, when choosing a location for the next week's activity, just how the weather will be. MacKerricher can be terribly windy and even boring at times. We were lucky today, it was absolutely beautiful! It was 48, sunny and calm. The minus tide made for beautiful intertidal scenes and the wildflowers are beginning to bloom. John was at MacKerricher yesterday, similar to today's weather and thought this guy sort of typified the place and time. I think he got a pretty good shot:
Present this morning were: Steve G. and Orah and a guest, Susie, Hector, Charlene, Ron, Gay, Mark, Cindy, Jim, Laurie, Johnny, Brad, Kim, Adeline, Brian, John, Bob, Caleb, Cheryl, Neil, Scott, Maddelyn, Nancy T., Roger, Nancy and Tom (27). Afterwards, 14 of us had a very nice breakfast at the Laurel Deli at the Depot.

NEXT SUNDAY, 4/25/10, 8:00 A.M., JACKSON STATE FOREST ROAD 400, HARE CREEK, beginning on Gravel Pit Road, which is out Hwy. 20, 2 1/4 miles, turn right and go about 100 yards to the locked yellow gate.

TUESDAYS, 7:00 A.M., RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK, beginning on Point Cabrillo Drive, 1/10 of a mile north of it's south end.

THURSDAYS, 7:00 A.M., VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.
