A map would be good. How and where does it cross the highways?

Drops down to West End Road (Old Particleboard Plants) and passes under the freeway. Leads to the bum camp on ‘Fickle Hill’.
Continues on to the bum camps along the Mad River.

I didn’t realize how far into the Soviet mystique Arcata had gotten; i’m speaking of the abominable architecture on view here. Might we call it Stalinesque?
Only kidding… sort of!

Yes, it is Stalineque or at least a 70s Chicago housing project vibe.

And yet some board still approved it. But they at least let our original residents give it a name, though, so it’s all good?

IMHO:

Saw the clearing. I figured they were putting up Concertina Wire Fence around the prison.

Instead… heck… it’s a new bum trail.
Valley West bum camps to downtown !
