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.

PUDDING CREEK TRESTLE

Well, that was an interesting run/walk.  A little brisk, starting out into the 43 degree wind, but at least it wasn't raining, at that moment.   With us this morning were:  Toni, Joe, Nancy T., Roger, Nancy B., Rick, John, Nancy and Tom (9).  With the day's forecast such as it was, no surprise that only 9 of us showed up.

Going north at the start, and with the stiff wind at on our left sides, we were hoping that maybe coming back, it would feel a little better.  That didn't happen.  Instead, the sky began to darken over the ocean, the wind really started to pick up, and then the hail and blowing sand began!  It was a real umbrella turner, ask Rick.  We covered our exposed skin as best we could and hoped that Nancy wouldn't get blown off the Pudding Creek trestle.
