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

The rain stopped, the wind decreased and nine of us enjoyed a brisk walk and run upon the Coastal Trail.  
Present today:  Susan, Bruce, Gay, Mark, Charlene, Fran, John, Nancy and Tom.


The mornings have been dark and cold.  Our start this morning was at 42 degrees but it felt colder.  
The good news is, by the end of January the daylight hours will increase by 48 minutes.

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


Today is Kwanzaa.  "Kwanzaa is a Swahili word that means "first" and signifies the first fruits of the harvest. From December 26 to January 1, many people of African descent in America-celebrate Kwanzaa. ... Working towards a successful harvest is a communal effort, as is the celebration.
