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.

Caspar Logging Road

Yesterday's forecast rain finally showed up this morning, but it was really light, so I wouldn't go so far as to say that those who showed up this morning were especially hardy because of it. Still, it was a fine group who enjoyed the first fall sprinkles pushing up the mushrooms and keeping down the dust. The temp in the mid 50's was quite pleasant, but the humidity was a bit too generous for my taste.

Enjoying today's sprinkles were John L, Toni, Mark, Roger, Nancy T., Ron, Charlene and Johnny (8). I considered leaving Roger off the list today, but I and several others did see him, and I could never leave him off the list intentionally, even in recompense. (Why does "recompense" sound so British to me?) Four of us then had breakfast at David's with Brad.

NEXT SUNDAY, October 2 @ 8 AM: MacKerricher Haul Road - it's been a while since we were there. Doesn't look like we're going to have rain again for a while, anyway.

EVERY TUESDAY @ 7 AM: RUSSIAN GULCH STATE PARK, beginning on Point Cabrillo Drive, 1/10 of a mile north of its south end.

EVERY THURSDAY @ 7 AM: VAN DAMME STATE PARK, beginning at the beach.

Van Damme State Park

Not a morning for a casual walk or run, it was around 45F and the rain that had been promised for the entire weekend finally arrived. I really think the folks at Van Damme should get some new trees - theirs keep falling down.


Anyway, a faithful few did show up to muddy their shoes - Toni, John, Tanya, Rod, Maribeth, Elaine, Deb, Sam and Johnny (9). Afterwards, Deb, Sam and Elaine went to Little River Inn for breakfast, and Toni joined Brad and me at David's Deli.


NEXT SUNDAY, May 22, 2011 @ 8 AM: It was pretty squishy today, and it's supposed to rain for the next 2-3 days as well as next Sunday, so pavement sounds most reasonable. Since it will be the 4th Sunday (already!), Navarro seems a reasonable choice. I know it's a long drive for many, so consider carpooling whenever you can, and don't forget breakfast at the Whitesboro Grange when you're making those plans!
