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.

COVID 19, 6 COASTAL TRAIL

We again met behind the Fire Station and ran and walked our beautiful Coastal Trail.  Thanks to Nancy T., she inquired about the State Forest, Caspar Logging Road, and for a change, next week we will return to Caspar and challenge THAT HILL!

It was a beautiful, sunny and calm morning.  A little brisk, 46 degrees at the start but warmed up quickly soon after.  Thanks to John for all of today's photos.  I thought that I had seen this bulldog on the internet, so I questioned John.  He says, no, it was down by the Harbor Master's Office and could ride the skateboard one way, turn it around and ride it back, amazing!






















NEXT SUNDAY, 5/10, 8:00 A.M.,  GROUP RUN AND WALK, CASPAR LOGGING ROADS, We've been meeting behind the Fire Station and using the Coastal Trail.  It works well, giving you several directions by which to start. The State Forest is also open and it's time for a change.  This week, we will return to the Caspar Logging Road.  Join us if you wish, keep social distancing in mind and bring a mask.  

County Shelter in Place Order continues, pertinent section and current revision copied below:

Allowed: 
  • Outdoor Recreation may now be initiated from within a 20 mile drive of one’s residence taking into account the new provisions in the  Facial Covering Order
  • When engaging in recreational activities in public, it is recommended that everyone bring a facial covering with them in a safe and accessible location and wear that where it is difficult to comply with social distancing requirements. However, the Order clarifies that for some public recreational activities which cause people to more forcefully expel airborne particles, the six feet social distance requirement may not be enough and may call for additional measures.
EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN AND WALK @ 7:30 A.M.,   for now, we're starting behind the Fort Bragg Fire Station and using the Coastal Trail - Middle access on Tuesdays.  On Thursdays, we are starting at Harvest Market at Mendosa's, Mendocino.
