John couldn't run this morning, so he sent a few of his Caspar area photos, obviously taken at other times.  Thanks, John.

 It was a nice morning for running or walking.  When we met, it was 41 degrees, calm and with  cloudless skies.  This morning, Cyd showed up, intentionally, after finding us accidentally last week.  Thanks for coming, Cyd.   Another first timer was Sheila (sp.?).  Thanks, Donna, for inviting her.  And returning for at least her third holiday visit, Mark's daughter, Sarah.   Shari and Peter brought their son, Nate, also a return visit.  Thanks to all.

After this morning's one hour run, Cyd, was going back out for a couple more hours, getting ready for an upcoming 100 K run!  For the 100 K, she'll have 17 hours to complete it.  That's inspiration!

Also present today:  Cheryl, Laura, Fran, Fay, Pat, Leon, Nancy B., Rick, Nancy T., Roger, Toni, Joe, Neil, Judith, Nancy and Tom (24).

Female Fog Dodger runners now outnumber the males and they make a pretty fast team.  It's kind of exciting to think of the group they would  make, if they'd  all show up on the same Sunday.  We love our hikers,  but we did start as a running group and I'd sure like to see more runners.   Presently, the walkers far outnumber the runners.   If you have a friend that walks or runs, bring them along!

NEXT SUNDAY, JANUARY 4TH @ 8:00 A.M.:  RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK, see "Our Routes" above.  Hopefully, our parking area won't be too muddy.  Lately it got pretty stirred up by the tree service trucks and heavy rainfall, but it should be okay by next week.

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.

Merry Christmas

John wanted to wish all of the Fog Dodgers a Merry Christmas.   This is a "special" post.  You can also read about last week's run/walk in the last post.

Big River,  J. Loomis

It was the kind of morning that we'd all been hoping for, for the past couple of years.  Warm (58), calm and wet!  At the start, we figured it was just fog, but before long, the mist turned into drops and before long, the puddles became deep enough to go over the soles and soak our socks.  It was great!

Big River, J. Loomis

 I apologize, for causing  our only "rule" to be broken.  I was involved in meeting a new person, Judith, and before I knew it, we were about 35 seconds late!  Thanks for coming, Judith.  Also, a little ways into our run, another runner, Cyd, caught up with us and I'm hoping she remembers the name of our group and can find us on the internet.  She lives locally and said she'd be interested in coming again.

Pudding Creek, J. Loomis

Others present today:  Charlene, Geri, Nancy T., Roger, Bob J., Rod, John, Bob, Katie, Melissa, Steve, Fay, Nancy and Tom (15).

The State Park trails are pretty soggy and there are a lot of trees down.  This limits the places we have to run and hike.  Next week's venue should be fine, no matter the weather and it is a favorite for those that want to exercise their dogs.

Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah and season's greetings to all!

Mornings don't get much prettier than today's.  John's photo above shows how it looked but the photo doesn't tell how it felt.   It was 51 degrees, with a fairly strong southerly breeze.  It was dry-like and balmy (?),  you know, the way it is just before a rain.  Maybe it wasn't warm balmy but it was really nice and very pretty.

After the run/walk, we all gathered at the Riley's for our Annual Holiday Potluck Breakfast and Cookie Exchange.  I'm still eating cookies as I type!  Darn it!  Not too many were left though, and I'm thankful for that.  It was a wonderful breakfast and great group of friends!  Thanks to everyone for contributing and attending.

Van Damme State Park

 “I like long walks, especialy when they are taken by people who annoy me.”
― Noël Coward

A good week on the coast  Plenty of rain and still very warm - in fact so warm our apple tree recently sent out new blossoms!  And a beautiful morning for walking.  In fact it turned out to be too warm for many of us that started out wearing a jacket.

Today's blog is a result of teamwork.  Nacy B. took names and I'm writing the blog in Tom's absence.  So, present today were Charlene plus neighbors Richard and Caroline, Donna, Fay, Gay, Geri, Jennifer, Joe, John L., Mark, Nancy B., Nancy T., Neil, Peter, Rick B., Roger, Sharri, Suzie and friend Anne, Toni (21).  Nine of us then went to Little River Inn for a great breakfast, to try and undo the damage we did walking.

Todays photos are of Van Damme State Park, courtesy of Google.
Tom's already selected the walk for next week so see you all Pudding Creek Trestle.   

Don't forget, next week is also the Annual Pot Luck Breakfast and Cookie Exchange, at Tom and Nancy's.

NEXT SUNDAY, DECEMBER 14TH, PUDDING CREEK TRESTLE, followed with our Annual Pot Luck Breakfast and Cookie Exchange, at Tom and Nancy's.   Bring any breakfast related item that you'd like.  You'll be able to follow someone after the walk if needed or ask Tom for written directions.  See you at Pudding Creek!

Oh yes, almost forgot, if you bring cookies to exchange, you must take cookies home.  Not fair to leave excess cookies behind for Tom.

Caspar Creek, J. Loomis photo

John couldn't make it this morning, so he snapped a few pictures a couple of days ago, if you can't tell  by the sunshine, thanks John.

I think I felt a little tremor, or a stutter in the earth's rotation, this morning at 6:00.  It must have been when everybody's  alarm clocks went off, you woke up and heard the rain, rolled over and went back to sleep.  Well, you missed a beautiful morning!   I do know that quite a few Fog Dodgers do have family and it is the Thanksgiving weekend, so I'm not implying that the rain kept all home.

J. Loomis photo

At 8:00, the rain was very light and it was 54 degrees and really nice for both walking and running.  Small group this morning: Nancy B., Joe, Fay, Bob, Nancy and Tom (6).  Recent rain and traffic on Road 600, has mashed down a lot of the loose rock that I mentioned bothering us on our last run/walk here and we all really enjoyed the morning.

Caspar Barn, J. Loomis photo

Everyone is so happy with the rain!  It was nice today, to see and hear the little tributaries to Caspar Creek, and to see how the creek itself has come up.  There is either rain or a chance of rain in the forecast everyday next week, and so I hope that the Fern Canyon Trail at Van Damme will be okay

5th Annual Bin-2-Bin-2-Bin Run Walk, J. Loomis Photo

Well, that was great!  With so many of us traveling around at Thanksgiving time,  and from the four previous Bin-2-Bin-2-Bin Run/Walks turnouts, I am so pleased with the great turnout we had today.  Thank you all, I think we did a very nice little thing to help out our local Food Bank.

It was a good morning, weather-wise, for running and walking.  There were high clouds, no wind and 47 degrees, just about perfect!  Thank you Shari and Peter, for bringing K(C?)atherine and Nate.  I hope they enjoyed the morning.  Also present:  Geri, Donna, Steve, Charlene, Caroline, Richard, Bob J., Fay, John, Bob, Rod, Melissa, Janis, Nancy B., Rick, (should I count Kira, front-center in the photo?), Nancy and Tom (21!).  Previously, our best for this particular run/walk was in 2012, with 10.

J. Loomis photo

I think that 15 of us had breakfast at David's this morning.  I'm happy that Kira got into our photo.  She continues to treat us, and all customers, really well.  She has boundless energy and will move tables and chairs from one end of the restaurant to the other, to accommodate different sized groups.  The food is delicious and the staff, hard working, polite and efficient.   She has established a large, local and repeating customer base.  I really do feel that it's time for her to change the restaurant's name to Kira's, in order to receive the recognition she deserves.

At 8:00 this morning at Van Damme, it was 49 degrees with a thin layer of high clouds and it was calm.  There was a large number of happy, talkative people in the beach parking lot.  Lots of tent campers this morning and many people up early, that's different.

John couldn't make it this morning.  Get this, he was out of town celebrating a reunion of his 8th Grade class.  He was very thoughtful though, to go out on Thursday and get some pictures for the blog.   Thank you very much John.

Next Sunday, we will do have our Fifth Annual Bin-2-Bin-2-Bin Run/Walk.  Meet in front of Harvest Market and be ready to go at 8:00.   You buy an item of food for the Food Bank and drop it in the bin there and then head to Safeway, buy another food item and drop it in their bin, then head to Purity if you're a runner or back to Harvest if you're walking.  You finish up by buying one last item at Harvest Market and putting it into their Food Bank bin.   These food items needn't cost much, just whatever you'd like to donate to the Food Bank.  Save your receipts, they are deductible on tax day.  No matter what the weather is like, running or walking across the Noyo Bridge early in the morning is really beautiful.  Total time usually 50-60 minutes.

NEXT SUNDAY, DATE @ 8:00 A.M.:  Fifth Annual Bin-2-Bin-2-Bin Run/Walk, read the above paragraph.

Thanks to John for this morning's photos.  He was out photographing before we arrived and then went off to run in today's race at 9:00, he's a busy person!

It was one of those very grey mornings, 54 degrees, thick and low overcast and just a slight breeze.  We ran and walked from the Pudding Creek Trestle, with some going north and some going south.  Nancy and I went south to check out the new coastal trail behind the old mill site.  It is going to be a beautiful trail when finished!

Nancy and Roger recently returned from a lengthy trip to China.  They took many photos along the way and have invited us all to view them.  I would encourage viewing the photos, and the web site, they are truly amazing and wonderful!  www.thornburns.com/china

State Parks has been working on the Fern Canyon Trail at Van Damme recently.  I think it would be nice to give it a try next week.  Hopefully, any of the predicted Wednesday rain won't be enough to muddy up the recently reworked areas.

Please try to save Sunday, Dec. 14th.   After our run/walk, we will have a Potluck Breakfast and Cookie Exchange.  There is always a good turnout and lots of delicious food and good conversation.  You can bring anything you'd like, including a plate of cookies, if you would like to participate in the Cookie Exchange.  It will be at Tom and Nancy's house.

 It was a little brighter this morning, since we all moved our clocks back last night.  It was a little chilly though, 46, with a stiff breeze.  One of those mornings when everyone starts moving out a little before 8:00.

Thank you Maribeth, for bringing your son along.  Macky just recently moved here from the Phillipines.  Also present today:  Rod, Bob J., Geri, Linda, Tom T., Fay, Gay, Mark, Fran, Charlene, Suzanne, Henry, Mike, Toni, Joe, Nancy T., Roger, John, Bob, Zelda, Nancy and Tom (24 and I feel that I've missed somebody).   Blair, if you read this, please do come and check out our group!

On the lower part of the Big River Road, we couldn't see much evidence of the work that they had been doing recently.  Some of the construction waste soil has been used to fill in the rock quarry/frog pond and I'll be sorry to see that go.

Ward Avenue

"Act like a horse. Be dumb.  Just run." --  Jumbo Elliot

It was a very pretty morning.  Driving over the bridge, there was a beautiful rainbow due west, very stormy looking ocean and a heavy shower offshore.  Didn't know for sure which way the shower was headed, hopefully not our way.  By the time we got to Ward Avenue, the shower had gone south of us, it was a nice 49 degrees with just a light breeze.

J. Loomis

John was out early and got a couple of beautiful pictures, accurately depicting  the morning.  Thank you  John!

It was nice to have Janis return.  She last ran with us maybe a year ago.  Thanks too, Melissa, for bringing your daughter, Sonia.  My, how fast they grow up!  Also present this morning: Nancy T., Roger, John, Toni, Joe, Geri, Nichole, Katie, Donna, Greg, Gay, Mark, Nancy and Tom (17).  Some cars arrived with just 10 seconds to go so if I missed someone, that's my alibi.  If I missed you and you were plenty early, my humblest apology.

Along the beach, below the last high tide line, were thousands of jellyfish or sea jellies.  Not the small "Purple Sailors" which are common but the larger kind that we normally associate with the term.  I guess the stormy weather and ocean weren't going the right direction for them.  The ever present sand dollars were along the high tide line before the most recent.  Confused?

The ocean, the clouds and the rising sun, were all beautiful.   There were six lines of surf breaking.  The rising sun really lit up the surf and foam.  The hills had dark shadows and our shadows, going out into the water, made us look about a hundred feet tall.

We walked and ran this morning on the Caspar Logging Roads.  John's pictures, though not on the Logging Roads, were all taken nearby.   Thank you, John!

I've been off for the past 5 weeks and in those 5 weeks, I seem to have forgotten how to do most everything I used to master easily.  Trouble opening and closing programs, using the tv remote, turning off my alarm clock, and I forgot to check the temperature upon arriving at our meeting place.  I think it was about 62 degrees and the air was thick and warm, much like Iowa a couple of weeks back.

It was nice to have a good turnout:  Sarah, Michael, Cheryl N., Neil, Nancy B., Rick, Nancy T., Roger, Cheryl, John, Bob, Laura, Melissa, Nichole, Katie, Zelda, Fay, Charlene, Cindy, Jim, Geri, Toni, Joe, Shari, Peter, Nancy and Tom (27).

Those of us that started out this morning on the downhill road (600) found a lot of loose rock on the surface from the recent culvert replacement work.  Hopefully, a little rain and some traffic will pack it down.  I'm not sure how the uphill road (500) was but this remains a good venue because of the options it offers.

 

Next week's run/walk location also offers many options.  It is a beautiful walk or run along the beach or the logging road.  There's Laguna Point and Ten Mile Dunes, your choice, it's all very pretty!  The tide will be about 2.5 feet, which leaves enough firm sand exposed, for those that choose to beach run or walk.

                                               Van Damme's Finest Hour

                                      "Walking is fun, running is more fun" BC

Although I wasn't there let me deduce with some certainty it is unlikely there could be a better morning for absorbing sunlight and breathing cool clean air while walking the trail in fern Canyon.

Our "leader of the band" Nancy B. was walking to the beat of a distant drum in a far away land with guitar Rick and couldn't attend. Tom and Nancy, after combing much of the western United States from Yellow Stone to the four Corners region, are now in New Mexico and will soon be galloping from Gallup to return home and take back the helm of the Fog Dodgers. Perhaps next year they will travel even further south into the depths of the Copper Canyon to drink corn beer and run free with the Tarahumara. No doubt with them will be Mendocino's very own Caballo Blanco Rod J. Tom and Nancy we wish you a safe return home.

All of the details and photographs from today's outing were provided courtesy of Fog Dodger stalwart and much talented John Loomis. John reports the Seagulls were out flapping their morning wings and drenching themselves in the nearby stream. A wafting blue Heron and a white Egret nestling in the branches of a bay side tree. And Steve and Ora held an open house showing off their nice new camping van.

Fortunately there was no mention of encounters with bees or wasps. Not long ago on a return run in Van Damme I was the recipient of an unprovoked strafing by a squadron of angry bees in a tight flying formation with only one mission in mind. Their stinging stabs propelled me to run faster. For a brief moment in a burst of get away speed I was moving as fast as the all time great Johnny Rocket. We miss you Johnny....really we do, and Bill H. and Al and Penny too.

Present were Cheryl, Laura, Gerri, Ora, Steve, Michael, Sarah, Fran, and John.

Looking forward to seeing you all and even more next week. Let's have a big turn out to welcome back Tom and Nancy.

Jackson Demonstration State Forest, Road 450

Winter is coming! It was a brisk low fifties this morning when eleven two-legged and one  four-legged hikers/runners gathered at 8AM today on Road 450. Lots of changes taking place there. Two-lane logging road sections, straw, chipped rocks and soft dirt. Clearly the logging is in full form. We're missing quite a few of our regulars who are out of town for one reason or another and hope that they are all having a great time.

Our runners and walkers this morning included John L., Bob C., Charlene, Neil, Michael & Sarah, Tom and his faithful companion Beny (sorry for the misspelling of your name last week, Beny), Gay and Mark T., and Rick and Nancy. No one went out to breakfast today but I'm sure we've all eaten either before or after the walk.

Here are a few photos from John. Enjoy!

Great mailbox. I imagine it's on Simpson Lane or nearby.


Crab buoys or, as John would say, "crab boys," arrayed outside to dry on a property near Simpson Lane.
