Description
This is the starting point for a 1 hr (return) hike to a airplane crash site. It is a steep, moderate to difficult hike thru the woods.
In 1953 a B-36 bomber, one of the largest ever built airplanes, crashed here into the hillside. Unfortunately 23 persons died. These days you can hike thru tousands of debrits from that aluminium plane. Propellers, jet engines, wings and the whole tailpiece of the plane are easily accessible.
Splendid view from up there, picnic tables as well.
If you drive to the very end of the road you will find quiet good wild camping in a former quarry with excellent views over the bay.
Locals drive to both places with their Sedans, but with a large and even a medium sized RV you will have a very hard time to get there.
