We have been wanting to paddle the Gualala River for awhile now, but seem to always have somewhere else we want to go more. Our outdoor calendar is filling fast for spring/summer 2013, so we checked the tide book (not optimal, but it would work), grabbed our bags, packed our rags, and headed back to the Mendocino Coast.
7 mile round trip paddle.
