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

We ran and walked Jackson State Forest Road 500 this morning.  For running, it's a real challenge, to not trip and fall down, due to the road surface, which is covered with loose rock  or imbedded ones just waiting for one of our toes.  I guess it was a good morning, none of us fell down!

Present this morning:  Zelda, Neil, Shari, Peter, Tom T., Nancy B., Rick, Orah, Steve, Nancy T., Roger, Jan, John, Bob, Deb, Sam, Charlene, Ron, Toni, Joe, Nancy and Tom (22).









It was a chilly 37 degrees at our 8:00 a.m. start.  Not supposed to be that cold at this time of the year.

After our run/walk, 19 of us enjoyed breakfast at David's.  We were asked, nicely, to try calling in our reservation at the beginning of our run/walk (8:00) instead of at the end.  They work very hard to accommodate us and we will do whatever we can, though I explained the difficulty with calling early.



Our "Jack of All Trades" John, is also an accomplished ceramicist (is that the word?).  Below are some of his recently created pots.
