	The LOST COAST & SHELTER COVE, Calif.
		You may be looking to the mountains north or south in the summer and seeing what the natives called the "smoking hills or burning mountains", a phenomena of fog that clings to the mountains like a smoke.
		Shelter Cove is a small fishing community that clings to the steep coast of California in a spot that has been inhabited off and on for many years, starting as far back as the thirteenth century, when it was occupied by natives.
		But the weather on this section of the coast can be fierce at times during the winter with the cold driving rains and winds making portions of the winter even in the densely forested areas cold, damp and inhospitable.

	History
		The geographic isolation of the northern coast of California, also known as the Lost Coast, prevented it from being discovered until virtually all of the continental United States was mapped out.
		One of her noblest sailors, mariners, and pirates, Sir Francis Drake, was sent to raid Spain's Pacific ports and to explore the northeast corner of the Pacific.
		He mapped the coast from 41 degrees to 30 degrees surprisingly accurately, but missed Humboldt Bay which is located just south of 41 degrees.

	Half-Life 2 Lost Coast Hands-On - PC News at GameSpot
		For one thing, the textures in Lost Coast are noticeably more detailed and numerous than in the retail game, and in addition to the immediate benefit of making this new level look especially neat, the release will also put these higher-quality assets into the game's SDK so modders can work with them.
		Lost Coast also makes use of high-dynamic-range lighting, which allows the engine to render lighting of exceedingly high and low intensities.
		The HDR lighting in Lost Coast is certainly the most obvious new feature, in a whiz-bang sort of way, and we hope Valve harnesses its potential fully in future Source engine games.

		When enquiring about getting a screenshot (ours is the one on the left, the other two are new releases from IGN PC), I also decided to ask Doug regarding the Lost Coast and when it will be released.
		I would prefer Lost Coast to be released first, but whatever, the mini-Valve vids interest me. Either way, Valve have got a good line-up for Valve fans.
		At first I was excited more over Lost Coast, but then I realized, no matter which is released first, we still get HDR lighting which is what I was really excited about.

		At the kind invitation of Valve, we flew to Seattle to meet the development team behind Lost Coast and talk about HDR, performance, image quality, as well as their up-coming release of Day of Defeat: Source.
		Their aim was to create a technology showcase: a no-holds barred level that would set new standards in image quality and realism; something to really push even the highest of today's high-end systems.
		What this all means to the game developers is that while they strive for greater realism in their graphics, they are constantly handicapped by the standard dynamic range.

	NCW--The Lost Coast (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		region of northern California is known as "The Lost Coast." Once home to the Sinkyone tribe, who thought of it as a place of healing, the area is fog-shrouded much of the time, with waves crashing against the sheer face of huge offshore rock formations.
		The coast is "lost" because it's very hard for people to get to, making it ideal for mountain lions, bears, elk, deer, quail, osprey, bald eagles, raccoons, foxes, sea lions, harbor seals, and gray whales.
		Nine miles before you hit the coast, it turns into a dirt logging trail that, during the winter rains, becomes little more than a muddy bog.

		In the early summer the California Gray whale moves along the coast close in and can be seen clearly with there young calves by their sides.
		Sometimes, as in the case of the mother and calf that I had seen on my first siting, they will stay in the area feeding for a week or two since the food supply is especially good here on the Lost Coast.
		Studies suggest that Blue whales probably migrate in a pattern that is similar to that of the California Grey whale.
