Camping in the Russian River Valley

One of the most fruitful and enjoyable sections of this State is that traversed by the California and Northwestern Railway. When elsewhere the meadows and fields are brown and sere, dry and bare, the living green shows throughout the Russian River Valley. All along this railway from San Francisco to Willits, away up among the redwoods of the Coast Range, are ideal camping places, where the wearied brain and body in communion with nature can obtain rest. Now is one of the best times to go. The rush of campers is over. There is more room for you and Nature; more water and grove and pure air, and time. One can obtain all he needs in the way of food, and the railway management is always accommodating. As we passed through the valley the other day on business, we heartily wished that the time and opportunity for a few days' run up to Guerneville were ours.
