December 3, 2021 New Trails
We returned to Yakona Nature Preserve to get some walking in and to search for the rumored surprises on the trails.

We found this cast woodstove part propped against a tree. It attests to the presence of European settlers in the area circa late 1880’s.
After many walks into and around Yakona we finally found ‘the Bridge’! A miniature model of the Yaquina Bay Bridge, built over a creek that enters the bay.And a beautiful detail on the bench in the middle of the bridge!
