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 State Park

"I've never known a runner who had as much patience as he needed." -- Amby Furfoot, THE RUNNER'S GUIDE TO THE MEANING OF LIFE.

 This morning, was one of those first of the month days, when the ReserveAmerica reservation window opens at 8:00 a.m., for State Park Campgrounds, so Nancy and I had to stay home and take care of business.  Thanks,  Roger, for taking the roll and I'm sorry to have missed the run.  We were successful though, in reserving our San Clemente campground for later in the year.

Thanks to John L., for today's photos.  They were taken earlier and in my file here.

Asked if there was anything "special" about today's walk/run, I only heard a couple of 'it was muddy's.'  Maybe someday, a little of the State Park System's maintenance money will be diverted to Mendocino County and we could have trails to be proud of.  Until then, State Park's should be ashamed of our local trails.


NEXT SUNDAY, FEB. 8th @ 8:00 A.M.:  CASPAR LOGGING ROAD, 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.
