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.

Noyo River Haul Road

Many adjectives could be used for this morning's run; dark, warm, wet, with wonderful sounds of rain and waterfalls. Only Johnny, Nancy and Tom got to experience it this morning, the rest missed out.

Daylight Savings Time is still on until November 7th, so it's pretty dark now at 8:00 a.m., especially on a cloudy and rainy morning. This morning, though pouring rain, was a warm 60 degrees. The little tributary streams and waterfalls were really flowing, making incredible sounds as were the large rain drops hitting the tree's leaves. It was a great morning to be out! Brad joined us afterwards for a great breakfast at David's Restaurant (4).

Since most of us like the A&W Logging Road and only 3 of us got to be there this morning, I think it fair to plan a repeat for next Sunday.

NEXT SUNDAY, 10/31/10, HALLOWEEN, @ 8:00 A.M.: A&W Logging Road (see "Our Routes" above).

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

EVERY THURSDAY @ 7:00 A.M.: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.

I agree, it was beautiful out there, and I'd point out that the road was pretty well drained. Of course, it's been a week of rain since then....

Tom, I think you're going to get your wish for a repeat alright - looks like dark and rainy again, followed by breakfast. :)
