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.

Abby's farewell

It was a sad morning.  Instead of bringing Abby to the highlight of her week, a walk with her favorite group of people, we had to put her to rest.

Earlier this week we think she had a minor stroke.  During the week she found it progressively more difficult to get her body to do what her mind wanted.

I know Abby would like to thank all her friends in the Fog Dodgers that have given her so much attention, cookies and rubs over the last 6 years of her being an enthusiastic member of the group.

We've posted just a few of the many, many of her photos.  She loved Fort Bragg and especially the beach and the water.  We did tell her that we were sure the group sent their best wishes, as she passed on to pastures new.

Thank you all for being so kind to Abby.

Our hearts dropped to our toes when we heard of your passing, dear Abby. Your devoted Mom & Dad...and all of us who fell in love with you will dearly miss your kind spirit and heartwarming companionship. You won't be forgotten, girl. On those extra sunny days in Heaven and you find yourself catching some rays, don't forget to apply some white zinc oxide to your nose...just like your Mama did for you. We'll all meet again, Abby. Until then...
Your loving buddies - Lisa, Elmer and & Jake
