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

It was another one of those mornings, you know the kind, the kind when it's so cold you can't stand still.  It was impossible to keep everyone from jumping the gun (my watch!).  Not that it was all that cold, 37 I think, but when taking the wind chill in to account, maybe minus 10.  Even John and Rod, they led the masses and John is one that is almost always early, wearing shorts,  and goes out before the sun to take photos like these:

Earlier this week on his way to our Tuesday run, John swung by Point Cabrillo.  You all know how full the moon was, well here's a nice shot of the moon and it looks like the lighthouse is spotlighting it.   Just before getting to the lighthouse, Caspar Bay looked like this (below):

Here's another one of Point Cabrillo, one of the houses.  Thank you, John!







John took this picture last week during our low tides.
