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.

MENDOCINO HEADLANDS AND TOWNSHIP

Thank you Nancy B. and Rick, for bringing guests, Cindy and Jerry.  And thanks to John, for today's photos.  This weekend was the Annual Rhododendren Show at the Botanical Gardens.  This one is very pretty but not from the show.  Probably from John's yard.

Others present today:  Nancy T., Roger, Fran, Jan, Catherine, John, Bob, Joe, Toni, Nancy and Tom (15).

It was a very beautiful morning, overcast and 53, calm with seemingly endless visibility.  We noticed many more than normal seabirds on the rocks and islands around Heeser Dr.   I wish that Ron had been with us this morning, he could have enlightened us as to what they were.

Four of us runners cut the run short and headed to Boonville for the Boontling Classic 5K.  Congratulations to Nancy for a 1st place and to the others for doing really well, two thirds and a fourth.

Next Sunday will be Mother's Day, a good day for a nice morning walk or run.  Caspar Logging Road  is quiet and the rhododendrens should be pretty.  Hope to see you there.
