Point Arena to Navarro Beach Campground

Orland, CA


 

 

    Here are a couple of photos I took early on T 19 Jul at the Ocean Cove Campground before the fog rolled in.

 

 

 

 

    The Ocean Cove CG is about 4 miles north of Fort Ross at a right-angle left turn (with a slow to 15mph sign) in the Shoreline Highway (SR1).

 

 

 

 

 

    A shot looking south from just north of Cuffy's Cove -- or just south of the mouth of the Navarro River.

 

 

 

 

    A view of what's left of the Navarro Inn; note that the efforts so far have nearly reached the goal necessary for a California Cultural and Historical Grant. [Click 1 or 2 times to enlarge.]

 

 

 

 

    Since 1945 I recall seeing a large "Navarro Inn" on the roof of Captain Fletcher's Inn. Now there's a sign on the roof of the building next door which is an appeal for aid: "Help Save the Inn."

 

 

 

 

    The Inn as it looked just before sundown on T 21 July.

 

 

 

 

    A view of the beach at the mouth of the Navarro River -- complete with an Arch Rock. Such formations are seen at other west-coast beaches as well as in the mountains of the south-west.

 

 

 

 

    The mouth of the Navarro, with the Arch Rock still visible after sundown.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    Unfortunately there were no large waves from an "Angry Sea." Rather, there were whimp waves from a placid sea.
....

 

 

 

 

    Here are four photos of Clear Lake taken on W 21 Jul from just past Lucerne on the north shore and looking west.
