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 - LAKE CLEONE


We met and started this morning's run/walk/ bike from the parking lot at Lake Cleone, MacKerricher State Park.  Town is very busy this weekend and by starting at 8 and from this location, we at least avoided a lot of people.   It seems busier in town than it should and I wonder if people aren't trying to get in a last trip to the coast before everything gets shut down again due to Coronavirus??  Maybe they're just here because of our great weather.


Fran suggested today's location and I think it was good.  I was biking and we went south towards Noyo.  I think the walkers probably checked out Laguna Point.  The runners all went towards town.  It had been a long time since we started from this location and we'll use it more, since it seems to work well.







The weather was perfect, very little wind and it must have been around 55 degrees.  When I'm in my truck, I have no outside air temp sensor.

Thanks to John again, for all of today's photos.

Present today:  Fran, Pat, Leon, Gay, Mark, Shari, Charlene, Ron, Joe, John, Deb, Sam, Scott, Nancy and Tom (15).













Next week, we will start on the south end of the Coastal Trail, or almost so.  The end of the trail just west of Taco Bell.  I hope the weather is as nice as it was today.
