Trip notes: Paul M. Dimmick Campground: A pretty
grove of redwood trees and the nearby Navarro River are the highlights
of this campground. It's a nice spot but, alas, lacks any significant
hiking trails that could make it an overall spectacular destination;
all the trailheads along Highway 128 turn out to be just little
spur routes from the road to the river.
