WEIRD ROAD ICONS


Having the distinction of being the last town north on the Avenue of the Giants, it also has a weird roadside attraction. We stopped and photographed this ear of corn and read the plaque that said "Gone but not forgotten". After doing some research on the internet this morning, I found that there was a devastating flood of the Eel river in 1955 that wiped the village out. I am not sure yet what the ear of corn signifies but I could only guess that they grew a lot of corn there?
