BTW, those 2 Ganoderma I posted pics of above, were not the same, but on different trunks.

 

The pic with Beranek's book being held by a "Little Jer" was at a cafe pub in Klamath: called The Country Club. Small hole in the wall place with good food. Its right across the street froma motel called the Ravenwood.

 

Gerald Beranek had mentioned last year, staying at the Ravenwood Motel himself. Glad I tried it out. Clean, well decorated and very affordable. And just 5 minutes from one of the big redwood parks.

 

Here's a fisheye lens pic of the room.

What a place, one learns so much and so fast in the old growths, I long to get there.

Its a serpentine mineral rock that give the color. I found a brochure at a Cobra Lily bog up the canyon that explained the water color.

 

Below is a photo of the other river through the park in winter. Mill Creek posted earlier, merges with this Smith River near Stout Grove. These fishermen are flowing right past the campground and day use area.

 

The second photo below is also the Smith River about 10 miles upstream from this redwood park. There are a few small redwoods, but the forest becomes pine, incense cedar, Douglas fir, madrone, oak and others all mixed together.

M.D, the incense cedars etc, is that old growth, or at least is the earth there old and relativley undisturbed and the growth matured?

 

be interesting to see old growth cedars and thier associated ecologies while out there.

Inland is dryer and hotter in summer. So on top of some old growth and some logged areas, there have been forest fires too.

 

Its kind of a mix. Patchy.
