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

It was cold this morning, but nice.  It was 37 degrees but by being in the forest, we had no wind and the trail was in good condition after last week's rain.

John is back and came up with an interesting collection of photos.  Thanks, John.  Besides the hubcaps below, marking the starting point of our run/walk today were tires and fast food trash.  Some people have a different idea of what our trails are for.


Thanks to Joe for bringing his sister, K.K., her partner, Conrad, and Joe's nephew, Emmit.  It was at least their second visit and walk with the Fog Dodgers.  They are very nice.  Also present: Toni, Charlene, Jean, Barbara, Kim, Doug, Mark, Fran, Bob, John, Nancy and Tom (16).


                                          Rhododendrons are blooming everywhere.

We haven't been to Big River for awhile.  So, next Sunday we will.  And, if the 10 day weather forecast is accurate, it will be about 44 degrees and windy (16mph) at our start.  But it will be sunny and you'll feel a lot better if you join us and start your day with a good walk or run.  Hope to see you there!

SUNDAY, APRIL 10TH @ 8:OO A.M,  GROUP RUN, WALK AND BIKE, BIG RIVER LOGGING ROAD.  You can always click on the "Our Routes" button at the top of the page to find directions to the location. 

EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN/WALK @ 7:30 A.M.:  Beginning behind the Fort Bragg Fire Station.
