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


Another very nice morning for running and walking.  Mentions of rain are beginning to be heard on the weather forecasts, so we should be thankful for all the good days we've had and have the firewood ready for the winter ahead.  We will all be happy to see rain.  it was 54 degrees, calm and overcast this morning.  We were at Caspar Creek.

This is where it gets difficult.  With all of us arriving so punctually, and like clockwork, just before 8 (thank you all), and people milling all around and new guests to meet, I always feel as though I'm missing someone, but here goes.   First time guests Michelle, Jeff and Bill, it was a pleasure to meet each of you and we all hope that you'll return whenever you can.  

Also present:  Sheila, Shari, Peter, Deb, Sam, Nancy B., Rick, Toni, Joe, John, Cheryl, Laura, Cyd, Gay, Mark, Tom T., Lisa, Tabi, Linnaea,  Zavier, Charlene, Ron, Joel, Neil, Nancy and Tom (29).

 Mark your calendars for Dec. 13th.  Mark and Gay want to host our annual  Holiday Pot Luck Breakfast and Cookie Exchange.  You needn't bring much, just any kind of a breakfast item and then a plate of cookies, if you wish to participate in the Cookie Exchange.  You bring a plate of your cookies and then take home a plate of mixed cookies.  There's always plenty of food.  Making this year's breakfast especially nice is a "Special Tour" of something you just have to see to believe.  It's right there in their yard, we aren't going anywhere.
