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

This morning, we met at Ward Avenue in Cleone.  A very high tide and large surf kept all of us off the beach today but it was a beautiful morning for running or walking along the Haul Road.  It was 44 degrees at out start but sunny skies and a lack of wind made it just about right.

John was in Sacramento this weekend, "meeting the fokkers", or if you didn't see that movie, he was meeting the daughter-in-law's parents.  He was thoughtful enough to leave me a few photos from his Ward Avenue file and then Cheryl got the nice photo of Joe, Neil and Rick below.

Present today, to the best of my recollection:  Joe, Toni, Charlene, Ron, Gay, Mark, Fran, Nancy T., Roger, Nancy B., Rick, Cheryl N., Neil, Nancy and Tom (15).

Hope you all had a Happy Halloween.

On the 18th, we will have our 9th Annual Bin 2 Bin 2 Bin Run and Walk.  It is our small contribution to the local Food Bank and it's fun.  Basically, buy an item from each store and drop it into the Food Bank's barrel and proceed on, Harvest to Safeway to Purity and back.
