Sounds like a good trip Monte.

We ended up in the Sinkyone Wilderness Area on a trip down from Vancouver a
few years ago.  We spent an evening talking with a father & son who were net
fishing off the beach. He was the grader operator on the road and his dad
had been in the local woods before him. He told us stories of the clipper
ships coming to the 200 foot pier that ran out from the creek at Sinkyone to
load the redwood logs taken off the sirrounding hills.  Kinda sad, really.

We collected some seeds from the  cool tree lupins growing on the hillside
there.
