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.

New Year's Day at Van Damme


A great start to the new year! We had a perfect coastal winter morning today. It was 41 degrees with bright blue skies and only that little breeze that always comes out of the canyons as the day begins to warm. Present were: Elaine, Geri, Charlene, Ron (Happy Birthday!!!), Bob, John, Tanya, Randy F., Nancy and Tom (10).

Fern Canyon was pretty. Only the berries, black and thimble, have leaves remaining and they are yellow and contrast a lot with the ferns and evergreens.

If you want an e-mail that says where we were and where we are going to be, join the Fog Dodgers Yahoo Group by sending me an email requesting an invite. Membership has to be by invite in order to keep spammers from posting messages or getting in to the group.
