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 Logging Roads

"Set a goal and a program for yourself, and everything else will follow.  Guaranteed."-- Amby Burfoot, The Principles of Running


 Perfect morning for a run or walk in Jackson State Forest.  It was 50 degrees, calm and mostly overcast.  The few little showers we've had have cleaned the leaves of pollen and the ferns and wildflowers must be at their peak.

John took some wonderful pictures of Point Cabrillo a few days ago and then a few more around Caspar this morning.  His photos are all so good, I never know which ones to cut.  I try to get them all in.  Thank you, John!





Charlene brought her grand-daughter, Hayley, and a friend, Wyatt, thanks Charlene.  Also present: Fran, Neil, Greg, Gay, Mark, Joe, Nancy B., Rick, Nancy T., Roger, Jim, Joe, Geri, John, Linda, Tom T., Tonita, Mike, Orah, Steve, Nancy and Tom (25).

Point Cabrillo Light House






I'm having a hard time rotating our venue, just not enough places that work well.   Some are too far, too rocky, too steep or restrict dogs.  There are only a few that keep most of us happy.  So, forgive me for repeating some quite often, they just work well!   Next week's, Russian Gulch, works well but if you have a dog that needs the exercise also, then you just need to modify the course by staying out of Fern Canyon.  If you have some road or trail that you think would keep most of us happy, please let me know.



What kind of flower is this?  Caspar area.
