This is the only time I have taken a pic including smoke... from a smoke machine. The movie "Bird Box" starring Sandra bullock and John Malkovich is being filmed on the smith river in Hiouchi CA. I'm guessing they stayed away from the rapids that the Smith river is famous for.

Smith River area is gorgeous. I’m about 90 miles south of there so am up that way fairly frequently. There isn’t a single time I have driven through and not thought to myself this place is amazing.

Great pictures. Love that country. Especially down in the Redwoods. To bad it's in California.

I don't think the Smith River gets the credit it is due for it's beauty!

(not feeling the love for California here!)

Spectacular photos! I'm really liking that bridge pic. I have an aunt and cousins who live in and around Medford. I should go visit them someday.

Why do they call it the State of Jefferson?

Back in 86 & 87 me and my soon to be wife would head up to there from Sacramento on the weekends from time to time. Sometimes we'd swing over to Lassen also. I really enjoy that country up there, cuz I'm kindof Geo-Nut.
