This weekend a friend showed me something new. We went to the
Kalmiopsis Wilderness Area, We did a 9 mile hike out to the Chetco River and hung out for the afternoon. It was nice to hang out, swim, take a nap and relax. Of course, there was the 9 miles back to the car after all the down time, but the light was nice and we were able to stop and take some photos. We saw a stand of very interesting plants - the carnivorous
Cobra Lily.
There as this random rusted out truck at the confluence of the trails. It was decent light for some b&w. The entire wilderness area was burned in the 2002 Biscuit Fire. These trees still had pine cones on it. They have hung on for 6 years - impressive.
The Chetco River is at the bottom of that valley. It was a long, steep trail with quite a few down trees. It was a work out!

Did you hike into the Chetco from the coast or 199? I'm assuming you went to Taggart's bar.
from 199 - we entered from the road that goes out towards Deer Creek Center (the SOU extension outside of Cave Junction).
