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



It was really windy this morning, and pretty cold also, on the MacKerricher Haul Road.  John sent me this photo awhile back and I put it in the blog then, now back for it's second showing.

In this photo, you can see how the wind has driven the sand up onto the beach.  Normally, the creek banks are pretty much nonexistent.


Some of us today, standing upon the Virgin Creek bridge.  It's useless since Covid, to attach names to photos.  Hopefully, we won't look like this forever.  Of note though, in the middle, please say hello to Doug, Kim and Bowie.


While out yesterday, John got a few photos depicting the beginning of Spring.



And then there's this one, "Hanging On", a Russian Gulch pine tree, living precariously.



Present today: Gay, Mark, Fran, Charlene, Shari, Pat, Leon, M.T., Kim, Doug, Toni, Joe, John, Nancy and Tom (15).
