This view of the Point Arena Hot Springs on the mainstem Garcia River was a post card. It shows the bath houses, a cabin, and the stairs down to the baths. While the postal date was Aug. 31, 1909, the river flows suggest early summer or spring. Photo provided courtesy of the Held-Poage Memorial Home, Ukiah, California, and Robert Lee collection. Published by L. Howe, Pt. Arena. L-#05885 Biaggi.
