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.

Hare Creek, Jackson State Forest


Hare Creek was pretty this morning, very "winter-like". It was 42 degrees, calm and with a thick grey overcast. Throw in lots of fallen leaves and a few mud puddles and you get the idea. It was fun though and present were: Suzi, Fran, Orah, Steve, Johnny, Bob, John, Nancy B., Rick, Nancy T., Roger, Nancy and Tom (13). Afterwards, seven of us met with Brad for breakfast at David's, very, very good.

John took this picture of Noyo Harbor and a crab boat yesterday, similar to this morning but with a lower fog/overcast.


Next Sunday, we will have our Annual Christmas Potluck Breakfast and Cookie Exchange. Bring any breakfast type dish you'd like and if you bring cookies (optional) to exchange, remember to take home as many as you brought!!! After the run/walk, follow someone to Tom and Nancy's house, if you are unsure of our location. These are always great breakfasts and lots of fun, please try to make it.

And John wouldn't "beat his own drum" but I will. I had this nice photo of some of ceramic pots that he made this year. He's a man of many talents!


NEXT SUNDAY, 12/18/11 @ 8:00 A.M.: Noyo River Logging Road, aka A&W Road, see "Our Routes" above.
