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.

CASPAR LOGGING ROAD

Happy Independence Day to all!  Thanks to John for all of today's photos!

Fourth of July Floral

We met on Caspar Logging Road this morning.  As I expected, we weren't exactly free to choose our course.  There were several Security Cars there to block timber harvest protesters from going into the controversial timber harvest area.

We were told that we couldn't use the main roads but could use the bicycle/hiking single tracks.  I'm not sure what the logic is in that, maybe to keep us from carrying in tree stands or chain saws??

Fran's son, Steve, rejoined us again, thanks Fran.  Also present: Jean, Toni, Joe, Bob, John, Pat, Leon, Nancy and Tom (11).


This morning's weather was perfect, 53, calm and overcast.  Next week, we will use the Coastal Trail, starting west of Taco Bell.  Long range weather forecasts are not perfect but right now, it calls for next Sunday to be very nice.  I hope to see you then.

SUNDAY, JULY 11TH @ 8:OO A.M., GROUP RUN, WALK AND BIKE, COASTAL TRAIL - SOUTH (Taco Bell).  You can always click on "Our Routes" at the top of the page to find out more about our venue and where to park.

EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN/WALK @ 7:30 A.M.:  Beginning behind the Fort Bragg Fire Station on Tuesdays and on Big River Logging Road on Thursdays.
