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.

COASTAL TRAIL - SOUTH


The morning couldn't have been much better, 55, sunny, and just a light breeze.  You could see for miles and with about 20 salmon trollers offshore nearby, it was just perfect!



 Thanks, John, for the photos today.  Top left is, a gate?  Actually, it's the view looking north from where we started.  To the right is a redwood tree and I'm not sure if it's John's work or something he observed.  It looks like some
of John's handiwork.

Lastly, below, wildflowers at The Coastal Trail.





It was nice to have Chandra, Pat and Leon back. Also present were: Fran, Nancy B., Rick, Cindy, Shari, Peter, Nancy T., Cheryl N., Neil, Charlene, Ron, John, Toni, Joe, Deb, Sam, Nancy and Tom (21).


I think there were 14 of us that enjoyed breakfast at David's after the run/walk.  We talked a little about the new access point for getting on to the Coastal Trail.  Nancy T. is going to edit it in to the maps, found by clicking on "Our Routes" near the top of the page.  We think it will be called Coastal Trail - Middle or something like that and be described generally as "Firehouse".  At least that is what it is for next week.   (Later added, it's in there ("Our Routes") now.  Easy to find.

Morning deer, J. Loomis


This middle access point to the Coastal Trail has more improvements to be completed.  Once finished, I think it will be our most frequently used starting point.  It should be very nice and gives a person several different directions when starting out.

NEXT SUNDAY, JUNE 16th @ 8:00 A.M.:  GROUP RUN AND WALK, COASTAL TRAIL - Middle (behind the Firehouse, between Oak and Alder Streets)  This will be our first time starting from here.

EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN @ 7:00 A.M.: BIG RIVER LOGGING ROAD ON TUESDAY AND HEESER DRIVE/MENDOCINO ON THURSDAY.
