Northbank Myrtlewood grove and south Gold Beach walk

3.5 miles 01/03/12
Ed and I drove up the north bank of the Rogue to a myrtle grove that had the biggest Myrtle tree in the world! They say they only grow here and in the holy land. So why are they called California Laurels?
Inside the myrtle tree.
There was a room inside its trunk (6X8'). After walking among them, one's sense of smell is permeated with Bay Leaf odor. As if your nostrils are infused and all other smells eliminated.
We picnicked along the river then walked from the Gold Beach visitor center to Kissing rock picking up sugar agates and jasper.
Yesterday I only walked a mile because it rained most of the day and I took a walk looking for small wild rhodies.
