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.

NOYO HEADLANDS TRAIL - NORTH

It was a really nice morning for a walk or a run.  When we met at 8:00, it was 53 degrees, sunny with a little haze and with a breeze of about 5 mph from the north.

The water was pretty choppy but quite a few boats were out, perhaps because there are some salmon being caught or maybe just because it's like the last weekend of another summer.

Tom and Nancy brought their daughter, Shannon, and grand-daughter, Aliya.  Rick brought his son, Sam.  Now I get confused, as some arrived late and some arrived early.  To the best of my recollection, present today were:  Deb, Sam, Susan, Bruce, Nancy T., Roger, Toni, Zelda, Jan, Cheryl N., Neil, Jeff, Bob, Geri, Bill, Charlene and Ron (23).

Thanks to John, for today's photos.  I think the flowers, fruit and the green pumpkin  are from his yard.
