Forgot if I shared this one here already, but this is the scene I posted on Instagram and Facebook a couple days ago. Probably driving down for some wandering in the redwoods before the year ends.

Just get over there! Turns out my wife has a long list sister in North California. After a few years of saving she surprised me with plane tickets. 

I'm not known for getting over excited about this sort of thing, but it blew me away. 

Always wanted to take a gander after reading Mr Beraneks books many years ago. 

But nothing prepares you for the scale of those Coast Redwoods. 

Work over here. got a little bit duller after that trip for sure!

Some may wonder if these shirts are Chris Atkins' "mojo" to finding the world's tallest trees. He found one world height record around 2000, I think it was, then co-discovered the next in 2006. Here, he's on the prowl for largest coast redwoods.

Old growth redwood climb. If some of you want to climb 200 to 300 feet, Expedition Old Growth may be able to help you, although it may be something like Douglas fir.
