Description
Patrick's Point.. The Lost Coast Of California.There are conflicting stories as to how the park got the name. The dominant narrative follows the story of scout Patrick Beegan, an Irish immigrant who came from the Mississippi Valley in 1851. After encountering wild potato (his favorite national food), "Old Patrick," as he was known to the residents of the Trinidad area, decided to stop and file a preemption claim to the land. The other account follows the story of Patrick McLaughlin, a squatter who arrived in the area in the 1870s. He is credited as planting the first apple trees in the area.

Such a totally breathtaking view. Inviting too. Think of the photo ops from that vantage point.

What a gorgeous spot! And shot! I love the light and the wonderful blues of the ocean. And love the histories, both of them. Wonderful work Mitch! L/F!
