Arcata Rust

I don't know if this is sculpture, storage or just plain left over. I *like* it. The edge of Arcata, on alliance Rd. near the R.R. crossing. For obvious reasons, Arcata is a great haven for things rusty or moldy.

Arcata Murals - Union Plank Walk


On the way out of town, heading south, take a quick look at this mural:
Union Plankwalk & Railroad Co. 1854.

"Union" is the name formerly given to the foggy town we know as Arcata
(name change circa 1860).
