Where the spirit leads the feet will follow.
Down distant paths for unmapped miles.
Heads forget but hearts remember:
The art of living knows no bounds.

* 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.
