Finally – after visiting Muir’s Beach – it was time to retrace our route

and back to the reserved parking lot – to visit THE REDWOODS !

So many pictures – so much awesome forest and trees –

that I have decided to break this down into a series.

I have never seen a forest such as this –

so pristine – so awesome –

But – in the middle of all this –

a flash from the past –

A PAY PHONE !

You look up and up and still up !

This forest has been here for

some say 1600 years at least !

It was explained to me – that this is the perfect storm so to speak.

One – between 42 and 68 degrees –

FOG – these are the only trees to absorb moisture through their leaves !

The protection from the winds in their valleys.

And – their root systems being shallow –

they intertwine with one another !

The Sun is hot -the shade is cool !

I wonder why all the older trees hollow out on the bottom ?
