Picture Set [1], [2]
After leaving the Dungeness ruins I strolled down the island's main road. I would've liked to seen the
Plum Orchard Mansion but due to some illnesses no park rangers were available to provide a tour. The
tour would have started at the second dock area and a van would have taken a group five miles or so north.
The mansion was built for or by Thomas Carnegie's son, George. The son died at a young age. The Carnegie family
donated the mansion to the National Park Service in 1971.
Somewhere along the main road it was recommended to take the parallel trail. Due to the traffic on the main
road; it is safer to use the trail(?). A view of the trail. If the timming would have been just perfect, a deer's
rump could have been seen in the picture.
Another trail heading to the seashore.
The seashore.
Looking back at the path that I took to the seashore and back to the forested area.
The dune next to tree line is almost as high as the tree tops.
Gnarly old live oak.
A small visitor center / museum near the second dock. Bicycles are rented here.
A couple of displays in the building.
