Del Mar Ravine

One of the larger ravines on The Sea Ranch, used for transporting logs out of the woods to the mill. A "bull barn" about 50 yards east of the highway was used to stable oxen teams that dragged logs down the ravine. Real estate mogul Walter Frick, who owned the property from 1912 to 1941, garaged his Pierce Arrow in a structure near today's Highway 1.
