Looks like you got some work ahead of you John. Great photo too. Pardon my ignorance but, is that redwood, cedar, spruce..%$*^%)&)^ ?

sweet redwood dude! I used to live about 15 miles from the redwood
national forest in No. Cal. Truly awesome and awe inspiring.

This shot was taking right next to the fallen tree that I showed in the first post. I just turned around toward where I parked the car This was my first time seeing the redwoods up close. Awesome creatures! Well worth the ride from Healdsburg.

Looks like Redwood to me
Could be Muir Woods outside of San Francisco..
Just went there last year.

These were actually on the "Avenue of the Giants" old 101 fairly close to Eureka. I rode up past the vineyards last wed.

Never made it up that far when we were in Napa last fall. I had a hard enohgt time getting away from the wineries..

south of eureka, and about 15-20 miles from the ave. of the giants.

Was this a typo, John, or is that what you meant?

I've made three different trips through that area over the years and with the exception, maybe, of the Monterey penn., it is the most beautiful part of Californis. Magnificient doesn't even describe the grandeur of that place.

You guys are so lucky.

I've been wanting to go see those trees since I was a kid.

very cool, thanks for sharing the shots maing.

When you see these trees it makes you realize how small we are in God`s plan. It`s hard to understand how some one could cut one! These trees have been alive for centuries . It is truly awe inspiring! You have not really lived until you walk around the General Grant!
It`s a visit to mother natures finest work!

I don't know... I sort of think a creature that can perceive the universe, travel off the planet, and unlock the mysteries of the physical universe is pretty huge.

But, I agree, the trees are great in their own way.

Good thing, John. I was worried you were taking "getting back to nature" into a direction that would require intervention by our moderator!
