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


Something that keeps coming up, and is always on my mind, as a group, we are aging out.  It's just a natural thing.  But I hate to see that happen.  One of the problems is, if a young person does show up, it's not likely that they'll return if there is nobody near their age or ability.  I think the only way to reverse this trend, is that if you're a young person reading this blog on the internet, please do come, and try to bring a couple of friends with you.  We will welcome you and you will enjoy running or walking safely in some beautiful places.  With a new and younger "core group" the Fog Dodgers could grow and continue many more years.

Under a mostly cloudy sky and a temperature of 41 degrees, we ran and walked this morning, beginning at Pudding Creek on the MacKerricher Haul Road.



Present today: Gay, Mark, Fran, Jean, Charlene, Toni, Joe, Diana, Jeff, Kim, Doug, Bob, Susan, Bruce, John, Barbara, Nancy and Tom (18).

                                                 Thanks John, for all of today's photos.

For next Sunday, we will be at Russian Gulch.  There are options available there, whether you want to walk the dog, explore the headlands or challenge the hill, should make us all happy!
