Cleone, California
N.B.Some new photos added at the bottom of this post on T 31 Jul.
A view of Ruth Reservoir from the dam on the Mad River in Trinity County.
Note the spin-fishermen at the right edge of the photo.
The Mad River below Ruth Dam.
A view through the trees from the Westside Road of a wide spot in 7-mile long Ruth Reservoir.
Zooming in on a patch of the lake from about the end of the Westside Road.
Looking generally west from the crest of the Ruth-Zenia Rd.
Several Trinity County mountain ranges.
Note the ridge tops; the further south one travels in Northern California the less likely they will be tree-covered.
Looking south (up) the Eel River near Alder Point.
Looking downstream (north) on the Alder Point bridge over the Eel.
One of the supports for the former Alder Point bridge; note the long-unused RR tracks to the left.
An early evening shot south from the junction of Bell Springs and Alder Point Roads.
The same shot as immediately above but taken the next morning; as you can see, the fog came in overnight.
Panning right one can see one of the sources of moisture for the redwood belt.
Second-growth redwoods.
A photo down the Branscom Rd (Laytonville to near Westport on the coast); it's rather steep as one nears the coast.
Just south of Westport.
