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 AND Ward Avenue

For those that make it, the J-H waterfall
Well this morning's walk added a small extra element of interest. 7 of the group that had not had their early cup of coffee before checking the location of today's walk, misread Tom's blog and went to Ward Avenue.  The rest of us, 13, went to the correct location, Russian Gulch. In mitigation however, I have to say Tom, the way you wrote the blog did require careful reading to get it right!

It was a lovely warm morning, about 60 deg.  Altogether there were 20 walkers - Cindy, Cheryl W, Donna, Jackie, Joe, Toni, Laura, Michael C, Neil, Cheryl, Peter, Shari, Ron, Charlene, Nancy B, Zelda, Pat, Leon, Roger and Nancy T.


The Jug Handle Bridge
To add even more interest to the morning, 5 from each group decided to go to breakfast. The speed reader group had the foresight to book a table at David's for 5. So when the 5 careful readers arrived, Kira gave us the reserved Fogdodgers table.  We just assumed Kira was clairvoyant. When the other 5 arrived, Kira, with her positive, can do attitude (what a wonderful world it would be if it were full of Kiras), gave us another table reserved for 10 (how serendipitous was that), and found a table for the other group by the time they arrived.

For those that missed the Salmon Barbeque, July 4th.

So the morning turned out to great for everyone.  And just so there's no confusion, next Sunday, the 19th July, the walk IS at Ward Avenue.

Nice to see that 20 people showed up and I see nothing wrong with last week's post. But then, I'm not that fast of a reader. Not sure whether we will make it to Ward Avenue on Sunday but we are trying. Thanks Roger.
