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.

Big River Logging Road



The theme for this morning's run/walk was Groundhog Day and so we did exactly what we did last week.

This photo was stolen from the internet but the nice photo below of Mendocino's Masonic Temple (formerly) is from John, thanks.
By the way, Punxsatahney Phil did see his shadow this week, 6 more weeks of winter.



Weather seemed about the same, a very cold and breezy start (it was 36 at my house when we left and today's vehicle didn't have a thermometer). Everyone really wanted to start early, to get out of the wind. Up the road a half mile it became quite decent. I could only think of Ron, over in Hawaii, about to wake up and run in nice warm 5K race.

John got this Mendocino photograph for us this morning, thanks John.

We had a new person this morning, Tom. I'm going to have to give him a sur-initial when I learn it. Others present: Jan, Marc, Geri, Cheryl, Neil, Bob, John, Bob, Nancy T., Roger, Peter, Fran, Nancy and Tom (15).

NEXT SUNDAY, Feb. 12th @ 8:00 A.M.: MacKerricher Haul 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.
