The giant redwoods are not to be missed when in Northern California. You can see from the sign just how big these giants are and how the girls look beside them. They are truly amazing.
The forest is dense with a "on the ground" biomass that is the largest in the world. Even larger than the tropical rain forests. The dense growth and colors give the forest a magical look and the smell of the trees makes you want to just sit and take it all in.
I just couldn't resist this picture just to show that we have survived the trip!
This is the end of a great month. Jack and Gail have been wonderful and fed us Minnesota steak, roast and hamburger all the way. The melons and vegetables from Ginny and Arnie were marvelous and the seafood along the way was fantastic.
I sit here wondering why I want to go home..... and the answer is: Out of money..... need to go home.
So..... that's it for this trip. Thanks to all along the way who made it great.
See ya next trip.

Hal -- thanks for sharing the coast redwood pics!! having gone to undergrad at Humboldt State, and played as a kid among the giant sequoias in the central Sierras, I find myself shrugging with indifference when I go hiking with folks who get all excited over 100 foot Douglas-fir or hemlock trees (sorry, d-firs & hemlocks -- I still love you). :)
glad you had a good and safe trip!
