#mypubliclandsroadtrip Walks among Ghosts at Headwaters Forest Reserve in California.

Deep in the misty redwoods of northern California hides the ghost town of Falk. Once a boisterous mill town of four-hundred lumber workers and their families, Falk now haunts the Headwaters Forest Reserve.

The 7,400 acre reserve is located 6 miles southeast of Eureka. It was set aside to protect and preserve the ecological and wildlife values in the area, particularly the stands of old-growth redwood that provide habitat for the threatened marbled murrelet, and the stream systems that provide habitat for threatened coho salmon. Only remnants remain from the historic mill town of Falk, but park rangers lead interpretive hikes and story reenactments.

Learn more about the history of Falk and Headwaters in the following video.

In 1995, artist

Adrienne Salinger

wanted to depict the authentic lives of young people in ‘90s America — a contrast to the perfect Beverly Hills 90210 types portrayed in the media. She photographed teens in the most intimate space of all: their bedrooms.

radical softness is my way of regaining strength for my abundance of emotions and mental illness. it means healing publicly and sharing my emotions without shame. hiding my mental breakdowns behind closed doors is damaging and adds to the stigma behind mental illness. i acknowledge that not everyone is able to share themselves freely and that certain privileges make this easier for others. my main intention with this work is to show that vulnerability is not a sign of weakness. strength does not have to mean turning off how you feel and being guarded. it can be sharing yourself openly. it can be putting energy into healing. it can be documenting your emotions in-order to make others feel less alone. it can be refusing to be sorry for how you feel. radical softness embraces tenderness and emotionality-however they may look.
