Waning Road Trip - March 1939 - Part Two


Lane's Redwood Flat Postcard

I think the postcard below is the perfect James Waning postcard!  This was the man who lived to visit every kitschy roadside attraction - The Vortex, The Reptile Gardens, The Trees of Mystery!

"Mar. 20

Dear Folks,

We are at a cabin about 18 mi. from San F.  Had supper and drove until 9:30 last nite.  Spent too much time in the big trees.  Some trees!  Stopped in this one for 1/2 hr.  Full of redwood novelties.  Weather clear - hot yesterday.  Raining hard this morning.

Redwood Highway

Note the "Redwood Highway" is a narrow, unpaved road!
