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.

PUDDING CREEK TRESTLE


Pudding Creek Trestle
Another  beautiful morning!  It was 57 degrees, sunny and calm at 8:00 this morning at MacKerricher State Park.  It's been an unbelievable summer weather-wise.

Jan returned from Ukiah for the day.  It was nice to run with her again.  Also present:  Fran, Nancy T.,  Shari, Peter, Cindy, John, Bob, Nancy and Tom (10).

John got some really nice photos today, showing just how pretty and calm the morning was.  Thanks, John.

Pudding Creek Beach
   
Next Sunday, we will go to Van Damme State Park.  It's been a long time since we've gone there.  The last time, March 24, we found that we couldn't go beyond Bridge 7 due to a large puddle completely over the trail from "wall to wall" and the trail badly eroded up to there.  It is still eroded badly but we can run and walk on it but must be careful.  There are also some agressive yellow jackets up around Bridge 9, beyond where most walkers would turn around.
