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 - NORTH

It was a nice Autumn morning at 8:00 and then, just to remind us that we're on the coast, half way through our walk the Summer fog came in.  We had a good time throughout it all.

John took these pictures from Glass Beach on another day.  This one is looking north.

                                                        Looks to me like "The Birds"

Present today: Fran, Jean, Charlene, Diana, Jeff, Sky, John, Joe, Mark, Shari, Nancy and Tom (12).

                                                                  Glass Beach quail

                                           Peppers, tomatoes and egg plant from John's garden

The last time we ran or walked from Laguna Point was on Feb. 13th.  Fran remembers that day.  By request, next Sunday we will again meet there.  It's a beautiful place and gives you several options as to which way to go.  Hope to see you there.

You can always click on the "Our Routes" button at the top of the page for directions and details.

SUNDAY, OCT. 2ND, @8:00 A.M., Laguna Point parking lot, MacKerricher State Park, at the end of Mill Creek Dr. in Cleone.  This one is not in the maps under the "Our Routes" button.

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

VAN DAMME STATE PARK

I was out of town this past Sunday but I hear we had a pretty good rain, something north of 2 inches.  I doubt that anyone showed up at Van Damme and if that is the case, it will be the first time in over 24 years that there wasn't at least one person attending our Sunday run or walk.  If you did go to Van Damme, please let me know.

Ammendment added on 9/21:  I have been informed that Joe and Sky did show up at Van Damme and therefore the 24 year streak of somebody showing up for our Sunday run or walk continues.

John did however, supply a few nice photos that he has taken over the past couple of weeks.  Thank you, John.
