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.

Caspar Creek Logging Roads

It was a "warm" 56 degrees this morning at 8:00.  We walked and ran the Caspar Creek logging roads. A light rain/drizzle fell on us at the start but had stopped prior to the turn around points.  It was really, just another "perfect" morning for walking and running.  Maybe that's the reason so many banana slugs were upon the roadway?

Thank you Melissa, for bringing Nichole.   Nichole lives locally and hopefully will join us again.  Others present this morning:  John, Joel, Ginny, Terry, Nancy B., Rick, Nancy T., Roger, Gay, Mark, Geri, Greg, Tom T., Fran, Shari, Peter, Charlene, Ron, Nancy and Tom (22).

We all know that John is a very energetic and creative person.  Just this past week, he was gone all week in Santa Cruz, taking another ceramics class.  While gone from home, he still never misses a run. Well, a few months back, John wanted to have a place to host a wedding reception for his son, and so he created a beautiful picnic area, downhill from his house, which is in the redwood forest, off Simpson Lane.  He built nine picnic tables and one of those (World's Largest Salmon BBQ type) huge bbq''s, cleared trees and reseeded grass, and created a really nice area.  On JULY 14TH,  John would like to host a Potluck Breakfast Picnic after our run/walk.  More on it in the next couple of blogs but we hope that the date is open for you and that you're able to attend.
