Leave Gold Beach 800 AM travel to Crescent City where we met Bill Polsen. Jewett left us here & started back toward Portland. Young & Polsen started south & Mr. Redington & self turned east at Orick after lunching with the other two. We traveled up a steep grade thru a magnificent redwood forest - out on to great bare hills & then down into the Canyon of the Klamath River. It was so foggy down the coast & so smoky in the canyon that we failed to see much scenery. We finally wound up at Orleans at about 530 with a crooked narrow steep road behind us but one which could undoubtedly be magnificently scenic if smoke permitted. A fire guard on the Klamath forest told us there were three fires in the vicinity.
