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.

NAVARRO RIDGE ROAD

John (can you find him?) ran the Thanksgiving Day Turkey Trot, along with 4,000 others in Redondo Beach!

It was 41 when I left home this morning and I think that it was about the same at The Whitesboro Grange at our 8:00 a.m. start. It was a beautiful Fall morning, clear blue skies above and fog in the Navarro River Canyon below us. There's always something interesting to see or hear on Navarro Ridge. Today, I saw a couple of grave site headstones that I had never noticed. Suzi liked the throaty (?) sounds that the emus made. It was just a nice morning. Present were: Gay, Mark, Geri, Suzi, Tanya, Nancy T., Roger, Charlene, Ron, Nancy and Tom (11). Five of the group stayed for breakfast at the Grange.

I hope this date works for everybody. Nancy and I would like to have the Fog Dodger Christmas Potluck and Cookie Exchange at our house on Sunday, Dec. 18th. It would follow our normal morning run/walk. More later but please try to save the date.

New on the blog! Check out the "High Resolution Local Maps" to the right. Roger created this program and I really like it. It makes it easy to zoom in find a local trail or road. Give it a try and thank you, Roger!

NEXT SUNDAY, 12/4/11 @ 8:00 A.M.: Ten Mile River 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 its south end.

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