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.

WARD AVENUE

And new this week:  Catherine and David, welcome!



Thanks to John, for all of today's photos.  The picture to the right, shows just how pretty the morning was.  When we started, it was 47 degrees with clear and windless skies.  Another perfect morning for a walk or a run.

Summer is over and the early morning foot traffic much less.  You can certainly see the changing angle of the sun. 






At this time of the year, many of us are traveling and our numbers are smaller.  Present today:  Cheryl, Neil, Fran, Joe, Tony (breakfast only), Charlene, John, Nancy and Tom.  About three minutes into our run, we met Heather, a great surprise!  Though meeting her was just coincidence, I'm counting her because technically, she will always be a Fog Dodger!  (12)



These pretty apples are growing in John's back yard.  Don't tell the bears!  

Us mid-week Fog Dodgers, have now ran around Mendocino Headlands and the town several times and we're enjoying it.  I mentioned before, that it might work out for Sundays also, it does.  There's parking at the Heeser Drive restroom for a half dozen or so cars, and then as they do when there's a good minus tide, they park along the edge of the roadway.  Traffic is so light at 8:00 a.m. that it should all work out very well.  You'll love it!  I've scheduled it for Oct. 22 and if everyone likes it, we'll do it often.  Also, by the end of November, Big River should again be open and the mosquitoes dormant.
