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.

MENDOCINO HEADLANDS AND TOWN

It was a perfect morning for walking (and running, Bob) around the Mendocino Headlands and township.  It was an even better morning, having two new friends join with us, Claudette and Sky.  Hopefully, they will come again.

It was 55 degrees, sunny and calm, really nice!  

Thank you, John, for today's photos, all taken near our walk today.  You can click on the photos to enlarge.  These first two, are from near our starting point today, at Jack Peters Creek.


     

Jean lived on our route today and she gave us a tour of her beautiful garden and yard.  It seemed as though everything is blooming now and her yard is very, very pretty.  Thank you, Jean!

Also present today: Charlene, Fran, Jean, Deb, Sam, Pat, Leon, Kim, Doug, Joe, John, Shari, Bob, Diana, Jeff, Nancy and Tom (19).

The weather forecast is for similar weather all next week.  It's been awhile since we started from the Pudding Creek Trestle, so that's where we will start.  It should be a nice morning and by walking and running there, we avoid vehicle traffic.  The following week, we may go back to Navarro Ridge Road.  Last month we were there and it was very foggy, kind of a disappointment.  But, the Pancake Breakfast at the Whitesboro Grange was popular, so let me know if you want to go there again.


SUNDAY, AUGUST 21st, @ 8:OO A.M,  GROUP RUN AND WALK.  PUDDING CREEK TRESTLE.  You can always click on the "Our Routes" button at the top of the page for directions and details.

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