Big Diamond
A Circus Elephant
"Big Diamond", a circus elephant expired near here in 1927. His skinned hulk was buried. Years later, his bones were unearthed and speculation arose about a
Humboldt mastodon until investigators were enlightened
by people who'd seen the pachyderm's ignominious end.
Marker can be reached from the intersection of Redwood Highway (State Highway 101) and Drydens Road, on the right when traveling south.
