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.

JACKSON STATE FOREST ROAD 450


Today, we walked and ran on Road 450, Jackson State Forest.  I had said last week, that this road could be really muddy or sandy.  Today, it was pretty nice, a little sandy in spots but not bad at all.  In another month or two, I think it will be too sandy.  Everyone seemed to like it though, so we'll try not to stay away for so long.  It will need just a little bit of rain to firm up the sand before we go back.  It is very, very windy today, and Rd. 450 was a good place to be!

                                  
An old water wheel, I think used by the city of Fort Bragg.  It is in a gulch near us today.  Thanks to John for today's photos.  This water wheel is near his place.  

                          I think the artichoke, peas and plums are all from John's back yard.

Present today:  Susan, Bruce, Kim, Doug, Shari, Fran, Jean, Pat, Toni, Joe, Bob, Nancy and Tom (13)



For next Sunday, I was going to pick the Point Cabrillo Lighhouse.  We haven't been out there for a very long time.  But, there's a little rain in the forecast for Friday and Saturday, so the grass around there could be kind of boggy, it gets that way.  So, let's meet at the Glass Beach  parking lot.  Hope to see you there!

SUNDAY, JUNE 13TH @ 8:OO A.M., GROUP RUN/WALK/BIKE,  COASTAL TRAIL - NORTH.   You can always click on "Our Routes" at the top of the page to find out more about our venue and where to park.
