* Clover Springs Work-Out Hike

Ok...time to get back in shape! We have been doing a lot of paddling, and have a lot more paddles planned over the next couple of months, but climbing season is just around the corner and there is a lot of work to be done with regard to being "mountain fit".

Clover Springs old fire trail and off trail hike.

Distance: About 4 miles

Time: 01:04:00

* Lake Sonoma Speed Hike

A work-out hike today at lake Sonoma.

From the upper parking lot at Yorty Creek, we speed hiked the South Ridge fire road and returned via the fisherman's trail along the lake.

3.37 miles total.

* That Other Mendocino Coast River

A nice tour up the Navarro River. We put-in at Navarro Beach (in strong winds) and paddled up stream to the first set of small rapids where we were stopped by a strong current. We beached and had a fantastic lunch of hot soup, vegetables, and cold champagne.

9.5 miles round trip.

* Winter 2016 Lava Beds
