Absolutely Incredible. I've passed through Felton coming down Highway 9 many times before, but this time I decided to take a left instead of continuing straight on. While Climbing around the covered bridge exploring, I heard a train. I found the train, and while looking around I found the Redwood Groves.I hope you have as much fun as I did.
Felton has been know for it's logging, a paper mill, a powder works, and lime kilns through it's history. It was a robust industrial era through World War I, when it's cement production was so important to the war economy.
The area that was to become known as Felton was bought by John Stanley in the 1860's. The town became official in 1868 when Edward Stanley, John Stanley's uncle, decided to sell parcels of the land to new settlers. He called the town "Felton", named after John Felton, the educator and senator.
Michael Rugg and Paula Yarr are co-founders of the Bigfoot Discovery Project (BDP). The BDP accepts the subject of the Patterson/Gimlin Film as the type specimen for the Pacific Coast Bigfoot or Sasquatch and seeks to create a dialogue about the implications of the impending "discovery of bigfoot" by conventional Western science. Its purpose is to educate the public at large about the probability of bigfoot and the current best guesses as to its habits and its place in the natural world.
