Notice how much difference in the color from one camera to another. We are thinking that we need to get a new one, but we are not running to the store yet.
When we drove into Gold Beach we saw this ship wreck near a restaurant parking lot. Gary had to stop to take pictures, hoping that it would make good drawing material. We'll see if he does something with it!!
Then after crossing the state line into California, we stopped at a visitor's center to get information on the redwood forests in the area. The guide there steered us to the Jedediah Smith State Park. He said that the blacktop road would turn into gravel and was hilly and curvy, but that it was still an awesome park. So we took his word for it and were not disappointed!!
There were times that we wondered if the road was really wide enough for traffic. But looks are deceiving!! There were even pull off spaces to pass oncoming traffic. So we pulled off and started out on foot to take some pictures and enjoy!!
Enjoy the pictures!!
Gary even moved the car on down the road so that we would keep on walking. We began to see more daylight. I think that it was as we were nearing another highway on the backside of the park. We were beginning to see more traffic and the way that they were driving, we decided that they were local and using the road through the park as a shortcut to Hwy 101??? But it did not disturb our drive,
Nor our stops!!
The road crossed over Pistol River before we left the park and we wondered about the narrowing of the bridge as we entered it. We wondered if there is a weakness in a pylon under it. Since it was not closed, we braved it!!
This is a view of Pistol River after leaving the park, from Hwy 199 going back to Crescent City,CA
We had a very pleasant day and were blessed with sunshine and no rain!! Check in again soon. Take care.
