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.

WARD AVENUE

We arrived at Ward Avenue to an eerie, light, graveyard fog.  You could see some nice waves but not much further out to sea.  As we walked,  it warmed and cleared up as the sun came out and we had a  pleasant walk.  A U.S. Coast Guard helicopter made several passes along our route while we walked, as evidently a distress flare had been seen and reported last night.  I don't think we know what the problem may have been or if there even had been one.

John has given us some very nice photos, as usual, thanks John.






Walking today:  Sky, Charlene, Deb, Sam, Eric, Lynne, Mark, Kim, Doug, Beth, Bob, Shari, Jean, John, Nancy and Tom (16).

MENDOCINO HEADLANDS

We had another large group of Fog Dodgers walking earlier this morning along the MENDOCINO HEADLANDS and through the town before very many people were out and about. Twenty of us enjoyed clear skies, mild temps and NO wind. Those present were Lynne, Sky, Eric, Deb, Sam, Bob, Fran, Mark, Shari, Doug, Kim, Richard, Chris, Dave, Charlene, Jeff, Diane, Brok, Eve, Gary. 

Many of us enjoyed the pancake breakfast at St. Anthony's after the walk.

Thanks to John for these pictures that celebrate the beautiful area where we get to live and walk.

BIG RIVER

It was a mild, overcast morning with no wind to speak of, so our walk up the Big River Road was very enjoyable. Of course the company made it even better. There were 17 of us this morning, including Diana, Jeff, Sky, Eric, John, Mark, Sam, Deb, Dave, Chris, Charlene, Lynne, Barbara, Shari, Bob, Claudette, and Gary. After the walk, many of us went to the Mendocino Presbyterian Church for their breakfast fundraiser for the Youth Group's project trip to Canyon de Chelly, AZ.
