By VINCE REMBULAT 209 staff reporter Fall Creek is a unit of Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Until a few weeks ago, I knew very little about this place that once had large deposits of limestone and forests of redwoods – the trees were once logged here and made into barrels or fueled the limestone kilns. The lime created by the release of carbon dioxide from those kilns was used for mortar throughout the state.
