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.

POMO BLUFFS PARK





John supplied all of today's photos.  I like this one of the Coast Guard surf boat returning to port.  The swells this morning were large and I can only guess that they were out playing (practicing).

Present today: Charlene, Ron, Cheryl, Neil, Shari, Peter, Nancy T., Joel, Deb, Sam, Greg, Keith, Joe, John, Nancy and Tom (16).







This morning at 8:00, it was 42 degrees with just a slight breeze and completely overcast.  John's photo to the right shows it exactly right.

The large swells made for some beautiful breaking waves.  The air was clear enough to see the surrounding mountains, a couple with snow on them still.  You could see all the way to Cape Mendocino and Cahto Peak clearly.



Two months ago we ran and walked on Navarro Ridge Road for the first time since July of 2018.  The Grange volunteers were happy to see us back and gave us great service and food.  So, let's try it again!  One Fog Dodger told me that they didn't like pancakes.  So, just have the ham and eggs.  Nancy brought our own vegan pancake batter and they gladly cooked us vegan pancakes!  Give it a try folks, it's not much further than Ten Mile or Little River, maybe 10 minutes.  You'll like it, I guarantee it.




Thanks again to John, always giving me something to make the blog look a little more interesting.  This buck to the left was near our start this morning.  He'll be losing those antlers very soon.

NEXT SUNDAY, JAN. 26TH, 8:00 A.M., GROUP RUN AND WALK, NAVARRO RIDGE ROAD

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