Skunk RR

While at Fort Bragg we rode on the steam powered Skunk Train. The tracks were originally laid to haul lumber, so the 'destination' lies in the middle of a youngish redwood forest.


The pace is leisurely, about 29 mph. The best views are from the open air car.


Along the way, the train passes several cabins and campgrounds. Some people live in some cabins year round. The area is away from any town, so generating and managing utilities is up to the residents.


At the destination, where the engine is detached from the 'front' of the train and reattached to the 'rear', we ate lunch. The redwood below is probably 200 to 300 years old.


Now we're returning to Fort Bragg.
