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

This morning, the weather site said it was 57 in town, on the shoreline it was a little cooler but still, a beautiful morning for walking along the beach.

Present today:  Kelly, Charlene, Sky, Kim, Doug, Eric, Mark, Eve, John, Nancy and Tom (11).

It was interesting to see a couple of large excavators moving boulders around.  They're working right at the underpass near the Laguna Point parking lot, getting ready for the expected "super-sized" winter storms of the coming "Super El Nino".  That's a spot where the ocean had already started to cut under the roadway a couple of years back.

Thanks to our Roving Photographer, John, for some really nice photos again.

It's been 21 weeks since we've walked at Big River.  That's because of the mosquitoes there in the warmer months.  Next week we'll give it another try.  Hopefully the mosquitoes have gone back to bed or wherever but you might want to put a little repellent on the back of your neck and ears.

NEXT SUNDAY, OCTOBER 11TH, 8:00 A,M, GROUP RUN/WALK/BIKE, BIG RIVER.

EVERY TUESDAY AND THURSDAY, 7:30 A,M. GROUP RUN/WALK/BIKE, COASTAL TRAIL - MIDDLE, (behind the Fort Bragg Fire Station).
