2nd New Letterbox CA

On August 22, 2002 Funhog placed the Towering Oaks letterbox at Woodson
Bridge State Recreation Area near Corning, Tehama County, California. This
riverside park boasts an impressive stand of Valley Oaks, the largest of
the many native oaks found in the state. Yellow-billed cuckoos are also
known to nest here.

To the trailhead: This park is located between I-5 (South Avenue exit) and
route 99, east of Corning on South Avenue. The entrance is east of the
bridge crossing the Sacramento River on the north side of the road. Do not
be misled by the adjacent RV and County Parks. Park in the day use area.
Here is a small day use fee ($2.)

To the letterbox: The Nature Trail begins behind campsite #23. You can
reach this point via the paved road. Pass behind the campsite, skirting the
meadow, under the shady boughs of gargantuan trees. When you find yourself
beneath an oaken arch, there's treasure at the end of the rainbow.
