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

"I ran and ran every day, and I acquired a sense of determination, this sense of spirit that I would never, never, give up, no matter what else happened." -- Wilma Rudolph

It was a beautiful morning!  We met in Jackson State Forest on the Caspar Logging Road.  It was 54 degrees, with sunshine and no wind.  About 2/3 of the group went uphill on Road 500.  I thought that there might be more traffic on Road 500, due to deer season opening this weekend and therefore chose to go downhill on Road 600, behind the locked gate.  That's the best thing about this venue, it offers lots of choices.  Road 600 has lots of loose rock though, from the roadwork that has been going on.


So Caspar, J. Loomis

More Caspar real estate, J. Loomis


I feel that I missed a bunch of names this morning, the group looked so large.  All I can come up with is:  Barbara, Pat, Leon, Linda, Tom T., Toni, Joe, Gay (?), Mark, Geri, Charlene, Fran, Jennifer, Pete, Bob, John, Neil, Katie, Melissa, Nancy T., Fay and Tom (22).
