Fortuna Panorama From the North ca. 1910403 viewsThis is an amazing panorama considering the equipment that was available to photographers that early in the century. This photograph, facing south, was taken from the hill above Fortuna at the second curve on Vista Drive. The road extending to the far horizon is 12th Street today but was then called Sandy Prairie Road. It was the main road south and a remnant still has that name between Drake Hill Road and Highway 36.
That big two-story building a block to the right of 12th Street is the Star Hotel, located at Main and 11th Streets, and under that steam and smoke on the right is the Fortuna Milling Company (the old Springville Mill) on what was then called Spring Street. The two large structures near it are the Grammar School (front) and the High School.
Many of these buildings still exist today and are recognizable in this photo. If you would like to see this image in greater detail, a 17,500 x 3,180 pixel image (12MB) is yours for the studying.
We have photographer Keir to thank for lugging his equipment up the hill and for his insight in taking this awesome picture on a cold winter day.

Richardson Grove96 viewsThis is Highway 101, the only connection between Northern California and points south. Many of these giant redwood trees in Richardson Grove bear scars of their encounters with trucks and other vehicles, with the vehicles generally coming out second best. Highway 101 is popular with bicycle tourists. Some of these trees are right next to the fog line, pushing the bike riders into the roadway. The trees may be awe-inspiring, but the riders have to mingle with the 40MPH traffic coming around blind curves, and this area presents some of their scariest moments on their trip through the North Coast.
