Talk:Elk, Mendocino County, California

At the north end of the Greenwood Creek Beach bluff trail, two picnic tables sit within an overgrown massive round concrete and steel enclosure. It resembles the remnants of ww1 and ww2 gun emplacements on Washington's Whidbey Island, Fort Stevens at the mouth of the Columbia, and on the north headland of SF's golden gate. Was there an artillery battery here? --- deangup
 * Elk doesn't appear on the list of United States locations defended by coastal artillery; and it lacks the strategic significance of listed locations. The structure you describe is more likely associated with cable machinery for transferring lumber to ships and transferring heavy machinery (like railway locomotives) from the ships to the sawmill.Thewellman (talk) 17:12, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
