Re: Redwood forest..anyone been?
It,s on my list of things i want to do...just been on a Yosemite website...there are 13 campsites there or you can rent a cabin. i reckon a Tree Tent up in the canopy would be the best...

I went and looked at various redwood forests while I was there in 96/97/98, I went to humboldt county, Mendocino county and various other places. Get this book
 and check out some of the places in it. At the time I was t really into trees, I was into skateboarding and there were loads of skateparks around these places.

Re: Redwood forest..anyone been?
This is me in 1979 somewhere on the west coast and hitching up to the Redwoods near San Francisco.
No pics of the trees survive it seems but I still remember it. Not just the sheer size of them, but the smells and sounds of the place. |

I'll give the weed a miss Hodge thanks
sounds a great place to go. I would really like to stay in a proper log cabin or maybe camp but don't know if I could do a week camping with a then 3 year old boy. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=53.448253,-2.878417

Re: Redwood forest..anyone been?
I believe I might have started a thread on it as well so worth doing a quick search.

Re: Redwood forest..anyone been?
Just went down there last week to guide a family from the east USA, do photography, measure the Big Tree, and do some hiking. Did some sort of portraiture in Prairie Creek redwoods, but can't post all of the images on here.
