Iconic Sundial Bridge, Redding, California, United States

Update (July 28, 2018): Sundial Bridge
Redding’s famed Sundial Bridge escaped without damage from the explosive Carr wildfire burning in Shasta County but is covered in ash and debris. According to local media, the bridge is currently closed as workers clean up ash and debris. The Turtle Bay Exploration Park, which is connected to the bridge, closed Friday and evacuated dozens of animals. Thousands of people in Redding were ordered to evacuate as flames jumped the Sacramento River and moved into the city Thursday night. The Carr fire has so far claimed the lives of five people, including James Roberts (5) and Emily Roberts (4), and their grandmother Mary Bledsoe (70), bulldozer operator Don Ray Smith (81) and Redding Fire Department fire inspector Jeremy Stoke.
Sundial Bridge is a cantilever spar cable-stayed bridge for bicycles and pedestrians that spans the Sacramento River and forms a large sundial. It was designed by Santiago Calatrava and completed in 2004 at a cost of US$23,500,000. The bridge has become iconic for Redding and it generates millions of dollars worth of commerce and tourism each year.
The Sundial Bridge provides pedestrian access to the north and south areas of Turtle Bay Exploration Park, a complex containing environmental, art and history museums and the McConnell Arboretum and Gardens. It also forms the gateway to the Sacramento River Trail, a 35-mile-long trail completed in 2010 that extends along both sides of the river and connects the bridge to the Shasta Dam. Drift boats of fishermen are often seen passing beneath the bridge as they fish for salmon, steelhead and rainbow trout. In the distance, Mount Shasta is barely visible. Shasta Bally is visible to the West looking upstream the Sacramento.

Tour of Downtown Redding, California, then west on CA 299
Like Drivelapse? Friend it!
This drive begins with a tour of downtown Redding, California. I was driving around randomly, looking for anything that looked interesting, so don't be surprised if you see the same places two or three times. Eventually I left Redding, and headed west on California Route 299 for the very long, rainy drive to the Pacific Coast. This video gets as far as Weaverville.

Drought-struck salmon need a truck-load of help getting to the sea
In drought-stricken California, young Chinook salmon are hitting the road, not the river, to get to the Pacific Ocean.
Millions of six-month-old smolts - or young salmon - are hitching rides in tanker trucks because California's historic drought has depleted rivers and streams, making the annual migration to the ocean too dangerous for juvenile salmon.
Thousands of young salmon known as smolts are being pumped into the sea near Mare Island, north of San Francisco Bay.
This dumper truck is moving the Coleman hatchery fish from the river to the sea to ensure the young salmon actually reaches the sea.
750,000 smolts are gushing out of the long plastic pipes into floating netted pens.
Just a few centimetres long, the silvery smolts are getting used to the water in the net pens before Fishery Foundation boats take them out into the bay to be released, and pulled to the ocean by tides.
Kari Burr, fishery biologist, Fishery Foundation of California says the smolts would normally swim down the river, but the drought conditions could cause serious damage to the salmon population.
The drought conditions have caused lower flows in the rivers, warmer water temperatures, and the fish that would normally be swimming down the rivers would be very susceptible to predation and thermal stress.
California has been trucking hatchery-raised salmon for years to bypass river dams and giant pumps that funnel water to Southern California and Central Valley farms.
But this year state and federal wildlife agencies are trucking nearly 27 million smolts, about 50 percent more than normal, because of the drought, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Each spring, the Coleman National Fish Hatchery usually releases about 12 million smolts into Battle Creek, a tributary of the Sacramento River near Redding.
But this year, it trucked 7.5 million of them to San Francisco Bay because the drought had made the 300-mile swim too perilous.
Trucking the smolts ensures a large number will survive and grow to be the California king salmon prized by fishermen and seafood lovers. But skipping the river journey means the migratory fish won't know how to swim home to spawn in three years.
The federal hatchery in Shasta County did release 4.5 million smolts into Battle Creek in April after rain temporarily improved river flows. Hamelberg hopes at least a small number of them will return in a few years and serve as broodstock for future generations.
The state-run Nimbus Fish Hatchery near Sacramento usually releases 3 million of the 4 million Chinook smolts it raises into the nearby American River, but this year it's releasing all of them into the bay.
Because of the drought and the fish not being able to reach the ocean because of low waters, we're releasing them all directly into the bay, says fish technician Gregory Ferguson, who was herding the smolts in ponds toward pumps that sucked them into the truck tanks headed for Mare Island.
Ferguson says the fisheries are pooling resources: A lot of other hatcheries are experiencing the same problem, so basically they lend out a lot of Class A drivers and we're going all over the state and helping all the hatcheries haul fish this year.
The commercial and recreational fishing industries have been pushing for the expanded trucking program to increase the chances of a decent salmon season in 2016, when the smolts released this year will be adults.
John Terry, commercial salmon fisherman from Aberdeen, Washington makes his living from salmon fishing.
He says the fish need help to thrive: We really need it. We need everything we can to keep enhancing it. As mankind keeps encroaches on the natural habitat of these fish. We need everything we can to offset that.
