The China Ditch is a thirty mile long canal excavated by as many as two-hundred Chinese laborers from the spring of 1891 until the winter of 1894, located northeast of Myrtle Creek, Oregon. A company by the name of Myrtle Creek Consolidated Hydraulic Gold Mining and Manufacturing Company bought land, paid for the construction of the ditch, and obtained hydraulic giants to work the hills in North Myrtle Creek. In the summer of 1894, the company went out of business and lost everything. Thousands of dollars were lost by owners of stock in this company, and many felt that the construction of the ditch was just a decoration in an elaborate scam aimed at stock buyers. Today the ditch is on the National Register of Historic Places. A short section of the ditch is set aside for exploration by the public on what is known as the China Ditch Driving Loop. Four-thousand feet of the ditch is also open as a walking section (rustic, undeveloped) where visitors can take a trip back into the historic past of Oregon's gold mining history. Here along the auto loop road not far from the trail is a sign indicating the penstock, a long rusted pipe extending far up the hillside.

Aerial view about 150' up showing the tallest known sugar pine (pinus lambertiana) in Oregon near Tiller. It measures 255 feet in height & has a base diameter of 7.5 feet, estimated at 400 years old w/ cones up to 1.5 feet in length. Nearby is another tall sugar pine, though about 40 feet lower. It has often been cited as being the world's tallest though there have been other more recent discoveries. One such sugar pine in Yosemite was measured to be 14 feet taller before it died a few years back & another one discovered in 2015 in the same region registers 273 feet in height. Regardless, it is an impressive sight w/ the lowest branches about 150 feet up. Unfortunately in the year 2000, vandals came w/ a chainsaw & left a scar line along the base.

View from the top of Quail Prairie Mountain northeast of Brookings, Oregon. The peak was hit by the Chetco Bar Fire however the fire lookout survived. Here one can see towards Vulcan Peak as well as views of the ocean (from the lookout cab itself). The fire lookout was built in 1963, standing 41 feet in height. It in recent years has fallen into significant disrepair & vandalism, with the lower flight of stairs missing.
