| On the last day at Duncans Mills we took a drive along the coast, but this time south of Jenner. Before we arrived at Jenner, we headed south crossing the Russian River. |
 |
| At the top of the hill, Joe spotted a vender park on the side of the road selling some smoke salmon. |
 |
| The first beach that we came to was Goat Rock Sonoma Coast State Beach. |

 |
| Dogs are allowed on a leash on Blind Beach. |
 |
| As we left,, I took another picture of Goat rock beach from high above. |
 |
| I love the colors of the Pacific Ocean. |
 |
| At the top of the hill above Goat Rock and Blind Beach, there is information about the territory of Mountain Lions in California. The yellow and orange on the map shows where Moutain lions roam. We were in Mountain Loin territory. |
 |
| There is also information about the trails that are along the coastline. We wished we had come here the first day, so we could have fit in a few trails while we were there. |
 |
| This map shows all the beaches south of the Russian River outlet. |

It was a beautiful day, not too hot or too cold. Just right! For Mallery it was too hot! To be continued: |
