Giant redwoods

[plippy]

Just found a documentary on giant redwoods in california.

 

Not sure if this has been posted before but worth the watch

 

If you have a sky+ box click on the menu and go on the anytime menu (red button) and look under the yellow button on documentaries.

 

They are looking at the tallest in the world and how they survive at such a great height:thumbup:

You know what I'm hoping? That a bunch of you "mates" over there hop on a flight and get out here in 2010 to enjoy these west coast trees first hand. If you tally the numbers, it might be less money than you think if planned right. Especially with someone else or a group.

 

There's a great hiking website for the redwoods too. Distances, elevation, ratings, location, photos etc.. I always link to his site from my page. That man, David Baselt, also has some pretty nice maps available. As good, but probably even more detailed than what the parks visitors centers carry.

My wife does not get real excited about trees either, but like camping near the coast. My son will go sometimes if I stay on trails. Our oldest daughter loves trees and hiking, though. But when I go, its spontaneous many times, and I just hike solo. I try to get someone local to the redwoods to join in when I explore off-trail.
