Looking Across the Public Beach & Bay, We See Where The Road Climbs the Slope of a High Cliff To Reach the Cliff Top.
“[The road leads out to the ocean again] where it climbs to a high point that apparently juts out into the ocean but now is surrounded by banks of fog.“(Cont.Next)
Back-bay Beach Park, one mi South of Caspar, CA. I was unable to find the old road down the cliff on the North side of the Cove. (To Find it, study TopoZone map of link below. I believe the old road is the short dead-end-angle-down-segment above the letters “BM”. Where the old road crossed the back-bay is no longer marked on this map. It would have between the “BM” and the “41” on the TopoZone Map) Most certainly the roads I had to use did not fit the Narrator’s description. From Caspar, I had to go: East to the four lane present day Rt1, turn South, and then turn back West on the Point Cabrillo Road. (Study TopoZone map, link below.) The older Rt1 is the pavement seen in my previous pictures of the Caspar business area as well as the road seen in my next photos of the “climax scene” Detour in new browser frame for http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=39.360077&lon=-123.81744
An aerial photo of Professor Wegner shows the old Rt1 around the back-bay clearly, although the new Rt1 is not so evident: Detour in new browser frame for http://home.att.net/~wagtail2/Caspar-17-10.htm
