Ok Tammy, here are some redwood trees. If you look at the first picture you will see a red thing off in the distance. That is a person. This was the fallen trunk of a redwood. It is insane how huge these things are. The second is just looking up. In the third one I am standing inside the burned out trunk of a redwood. This tree was still alive. It is as if the fire never did anything to the tree.
It is just a cool place. There is a nice river running through this area. Peaceful.
This was when I stayed in Crescent City, CA. A small town with nothing going on most of the time. I was here over July, 4th 2006. So they had a party down on the green on July 3rd with a band, beer and locals. They were somewhat amazed we where there on vacation. It is usually fairly cool/cold here. Because they are so close to the mountains the Pacific Ocean keeps the area cool. The one thing that was cool was the previous winter there were tons of storms so the main beach, which was a couple miles long, had tons of driftwood on it. On the 4th after the parade tons of people went down to the beach and built huge fires and partied on the beach all day waiting for the fireworks. The amount of driftwood was staggering. lots of big pieces. People actually built huts out of it. Very cool.
It is great because overall there are not many people so everything is pretty much in its natural state.
When you go bring your jacket.

Thank you Mark. The National Geographic Mag this month has a great article about the Redwood Forest, its history, its future and what is being done to save them. I am anxious to go. A lovey way to start my Wednesday.
I love those magnificent giants, and it is good to finally see you.
