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.

BIG RIVER

8:00 a.m., Sunday the 3rd:  It was 54 degrees, thick overcast making it dry-like, no breeze and just a few mosquitoes.  It was a good morning for walking at Big River.  Present were: Sky, Mark, Mary, Fran, John, Jean, Eric, Shari, Barbara, Nancy and Tom (11).  Eric, Nancy and Tom turned around shortly after the start and headed to Boonville to do the Boontling Classic 5K.

Thanks to John for today's photos, all from Big River.

Next Sunday is Mother's Day.  I'm not sure what that will do to the Pancake Breakfast crowd at St. Anthony's but everyone likes going there on the second Sundays so, we just walked Heeser Dr. and around Mendocino, so I'm picking another venue nearby.

NEXT SUNDAY, MAY 10TH, 8:00 A.M., GROUP RUN/WALK/BIKE, VAN DAMME STATE PARK.

EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, GROUP RUN/WALK/BIKE, 7:30 A.M., COASTAL TRAIL MIDDLE (BEHIND THE FORT BRAGG FIRE STATION).
