and Country Tire in Guerneville. Napa Auto Parts puts out a stack of inflated
tires on the weekends (Friday as well). From there you will find a few places

Photography
All the pictures on this website were taken from locations anyone could walk to
(and many of them required no walking). There is an abundance of photo worthy
scenes at every turn. It is not necessary to visit one of the parks to get pristine
nature shots (the above picture was taken along a bridge just north of Monte Rio).

River.
Sun Bathing
