Welcome to the Albion River Inn

Everything is geared to your comfort and pleasure. You're surrounded by natural beauty, cool, comfortable temperatures, fresh ocean air, and breathtaking vistas. Our fine lodging and dining, plus the easy pace of life on the Mendocino Coast, will steal your heart away.
Albion River Inn crowns ten acres of headland bluffs and gardens above the sea. Our architectural style, like most buildings on the Mendocino Coast, reflects the New England roots of the settlers who arrived here in the early 1850s. The ocean view is the heart of the Albion River Inn experience, and guest rooms and cottages open to dramatic views and private decks.
Our lodgings are individually decorated. King or queen beds with down comforters, fireplaces, easy chairs, private decks, garden entrances, and an abundance of amenities like binoculars to enhance your whale and bird watching, await you. Our spacious spa tub cottages, and guestrooms with large soaking “tubs for two,” add an extra measure of luxury to your stay, and a chef cooked complimentary full breakfast is yours each morning of your stay with us.
The Albion River Inn Restaurant is open nightly showcasing the Coastal Cuisine of Chef Stephen Smith which celebrates California's north coast bounty of fresh seafood, locally grown produce, wild mushrooms, fruit, and also offers succulent meat, fowl, pasta dishes, and dessert. Window walls provide spectacular ocean views from every table, and a cozy fireplace and burnished bar lend a soft romantic glow to the tastefully decorated interior. A selection of over 500 wines and 130 single-malts has earned our restaurant the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for 19 consecutive years, and our friendly and knowledgeable staff have one goal, to make your every dining experience with us a memorable one.
We are located in a serenely rural ocean side setting in Albion, only 7 miles south of Mendocino. Within minutes you can shop art galleries and boutiques, hike on the beach or headland parks, play golf, tennis, fish, kayak, or bicycle. Nearby you'll find horseback riding, local wineries, and microbreweries. Annual festivals such as the Crab & Wine Festival in Jan/Feb, Whale Festival in March, Mendocino Film Festival in May, Mendocino Music Festival in July, Winesong in September, and the Wine & Mushroom Festival in November, the Writers Workshop etc, provide an abundance of seasonal entertainment with excellent food and wine tasting events. Local theater, music, dance and comedy groups, entertain throughout the year.
Albion River Inn's cooking classes have been a favorite with locals and visitors for 15 years. Singer/songwriter performances take place during our seasonal Cabarets, and will begin again in this fall. For the artistically inclined, the Mendocino Art Center provides excellent workshop instruction in a variety of artistic mediums, and an art & craft fair.
Best of all, at the end of a day as busy or quiet as you wish, your room at Albion River Inn with spectacular sunsets, and a cozy fireplace to end a perfect day.

Rancheria Creek, Navarro River, California, USA
March 7th, 2016
First run of the Babylon Tour - Riverboarding North America and 1st Riverboard Descent of 'Rancheria Creek' on the 'Navarro River' (North Central Coastal Region) close to Boonville, California, USA.
Easy Class II with one Class II+ rapid (classified and known as 'The Class III'). It was flowing between 2K and 3K cfs that day and a 16 mile run took us about 3.5 hours.
It was more entertaining than expected, with a lot of 'mini-sized' features and small wave-trains. There were also a bunch of little surfable waves - all but one of which I missed frown emoticon
There was a lot of brush and potential sieves, but it was all very passable - especially on a riverboard.
We were a group of 5; 2 hardshells, 2 duckies (IKs) and 1 riverboard.
It was a fun little run with beautiful scenery, and a great way to ease into the water for the beginning of the tour.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The Albion River is an 18.1-mile-long (29.1 km) river in Mendocino County, California. The river drains about 43 square miles (110 km2) on the Mendocino Coast and empties into the Pacific Ocean near the town of Albion, California, where California State Route 1 crosses it on the Albion River Bridge. The river's overall direction is east to west, but it moves significantly in the north-south direction. The tributaries of the river include Railroad Gulch, Pleasant Valley Creek, Duck Pond Gulch, South Fork Albion River, Tom Bell Creek, North Fork Albion River, and Marsh Creek. The river's most inland point is only 15 miles (24 km) from the coast, and its highest elevation is about 1,570 feet (480 m) above sea level. There is a large estuary at the mouth of the river, and tidal waters travel up to 5 miles (8 km) upstream. The Albion River was previously used to power a sawmill on the river mouth, but there are no major dams or reservoirs on the river. The river provides recreation, groundwater recharge and industrial water supply for the community of Albion, and wildlife habitat including cold freshwater habitat for fish migration and spawning.
