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.

Russian Gulch

 “My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She's ninety-seven now, and we don't know where the heck she is.”
               ― Ellen DeGeneres

Well another lovely day on our beautiful coast. Unfortunately Tom is attending to some family business, so today's blog was graciously handed to me by Nancy!

Although the temperature was only 49° when we set off, for those of us that walked the headland route, the sun and warm wind made it quite toasty.  We had another good turnout - and why not with such glorious weather.  It was great to have Kim join us again, visiting us from her new home in Colorado.

On a sad note, one of our walkers, Craig, died yesterday morning.  Our sympathy goes to his wife Kathleen.

Those of you that were there this morning, and who's name I managed to note were: Toni, Joe, Geri, Greg, Rick, Nancy B, Nancy R, Terry, Chuck, Ron, Charlene, Melissa, John, Mark, Gay, Peter, Shari, Joel, Janis(a friend of ?) and of course or friend Kim.
Thanks as always to John for the photos.

And, there's a special request from Gay.  If you have any pint or half-pint canning jars you're not using - please contact her at 964-2176 or bring them to next Sundays  walk.

NEXT SUNDAY, DATE @ 8:00 A.M.: HARE CREEK, JACKSON STATE FOREST ROAD 400  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.
