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 - SOUTH

It was pretty foggy this morning, yet we had a good turnout and a good time.  It was really nice, in that we had 3, maybe 4, new people join us.  Thanks for coming, Diana, Jeff, Linda, and I think someone said that Linda's husband was present, but I'm not sure on that one.   Nice thing about these people, they are all locals and said they would come back!


John's picture above depicts what type of morning it was.  Thanks, John, for all of today's photos.


Three miles inland, no more fog, just blue skies.  I think we were lucky to have the fog, at least when you here about the record heat inland.

This morning, Gravel Pit Road was mentioned a couple of times and by different persons.  We haven't been to that location for a very long time.  I would like to return but when last there, the road was covered with fairly large loose rock and then, of course, there is the hill.  If someone has been there recently, I'd like to know what conditions are like now.

Next week, we'll meet at the Pudding Creek Trestle.  It's always a safe place to meet, since it works for running, walking or biking, and dogs are allowed.  Hope to see you there.

SUNDAY, JULY 18TH @ 8:OO A.M., GROUP RUN, WALK AND BIKE, PUDDING CREEK TRESTLE, ( 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.
