yeah i'm pretty sure this is the last place the road old road crossed the creek so that's the main
branch of stevens creek right down there and then the old road probably came up here
and up through there and then the uh the old building probably was in this
flat here yes i think that dwelling that shows on the old map was probably in this
area but there's a lot of downed trees i think they must have done some logging in here
probably did the logging i don't know in the early 1900s and then there's a lot of downed trees here
and then this is where all the ladybugs hang out for the winter there's only a few left
two weeks ago this log here was just covered
now there's just a few of them hanging out and here you can see probably remains of
whenever they came in here and logged an enormous brush pile down there there's probably remains of
a building foundation someplace but i mean if it was a log cabin it's probably rotted all the way
and then this is the grizzly flat road which has obviously been here quite a while i imagine they
did this when they did the logging and this goes all the way up to skyline boulevard highway 35
about 1 and three quarter miles up the hill but this road doesn't show on any of the old maps
so i'm wondering if they built this road when they did the logging here and came down here where the
old stevens canyon road came up so i imagine at one time you could probably come down this
grizzly flat road you'd cross the creek down there follow the creek down cross it two more times and
then you'd hit what remains of the road now the grizzly flat trail does continue through here and
i think this might be part of the old road bed and then there's a really big tree back there
you can probably see it going way up there right in the center now this is that big redwood tree
right here it's just enormous this is probably old growth and right there looks like an old road cut
and then there was this tree that fell down here and they put the new path down below but it looks
like the old road used to come up here came up here and i think it keeps going down there
the trail cuts down to the right but i think the road goes up to the left if this is where
it used to be right past there it looks like it's probably washed out or slid out because
it get the canyon gets very steep there it shows the road continuing a fair distance up here so
i'm not sure if this is it or if this is just an old logging road here yeah that's a huge tree
it goes way up there
all covered in moss and it looks like it's growing really well right on the edge of the trail
and you got the creek right down below yeah still looking for this end of the road because it ends
fairly close to here i'm not sure why it came up here it doesn't go through it just comes up
and in someplace on this ridge but yeah i guess i gotta put everything away here and start heading
back home got an extra hour of daylight today but it'll start getting dark up here pretty quick and
it gets cold so i think i'll sign off here and we'll continue looking next time i get up here
