#alder point

1/17/22 New Year’s Day 2022. Dave and I headed north to explore the rugged Eel River watershed. A six hour loop scouting put-in and take-out possibilities. River running full. 169 to Dos Rios then across snowy, single lane, mountain road to Latonville. North and east over snow covered mountains to Alder Point—not a place I’d want to leave a car. Back to 101, through redwoods then home via the coastal road at sunset and low tide. Spectacular start to a new year.
