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.

TEN MILE RIVER LOGGING ROAD

Pink Clouds off Ten Mile Beach

It was 40 degrees and the slight breeze made it seem much colder.  It was impossible to keep most everyone from jumping the gun at 7:58.  Mark held back a moment, to make sure nobody arrived just before our 8:00 a.m. start, thanks Mark!  That always seems to happen when it's cold and breezy.
Ten Mile Farm House

 It had been almost two years since we last ran and walked at Ten Mile River.  It's still as pretty and nice as ever.  I timed the difference between Ward Avenue and Ten Mile River this morning, only six minutes, so hopefully we will do Ten Mile more often.  Don't tell me it's too far!

Thanks to John, for all of this morning's beautiful pictures.




"Ten Mile Mystery Home"

Present today, a small group:  Zelda, Gay, Mark, Charlene, Ron, Joel, Jan, John, Nancy and Tom (10).  Afterwards, four of us met with Toni and had a great David's breakfast.

Following our run/walk next week, we'll have our Annual Pot Luck Breakfast and Cookie Exchange.  It will be at Mark and Gay's beautiful home and I have been told that the Gnome Tree House will be open.  You should really try to make this one, even bring your family, it's a very nice event.  The "only rule",
is that if you want to participate in the Cookie
Exchange, you must also take home a plate of
cookies.  Mark and Gay don't want too many
left overs!  Gay will be providing steel cut oat-
meal and a waffle bar, you may bring anything
breakfast related you'd like.

South Fork Ten Mile River


If you haven't been to Mark and Gay's, you can follow one of the others or ask me for the address.  It's close by.






NEXT SUNDAY, DEC. 10TH @ 8:00 A.M. CASPAR LOGGING ROADS.  OUR ANNUAL POT LUCK BREAKFAST AND COOKIE EXCHANGE FOLLOWS IMMEDIATELY AFTER. 


Roger has updated "Our Routes" at the top of the page, thanks Roger!  When you look and see how many different options we have, you wonder why we keep doing the same ones over and over.  Well, there are little glitches with each route and I tend to pick whatever seems to please most of us.  Be sure to let me know if there's one that you want to try again.  Today, Shari suggested a couple of trails around the Pt. Cabrillo area and I'll look into those.  Anyway, Roger has all of the maps looking really good  and it will help us all get to the right starting points.  

EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN @ 7:00 A.M.: MENDOCINO, beginning at the Heeser Drive restrooms.
