The Redwoods

The Redwoods, 716


Today we came to the redwoods of northern California and southern Oregon. We got lucky with the weather and had a combination of sunshine and fog at the same time which made for a great atmospheric experience. The whole thing left us somewhat speechless... we hiked around in a grove that looks mostly like primordial rain forest for a while and made several discoveries and experiences like drinking water off the hanging moss on the trees.. This posting is pretty heavy on images and less with the text. We were generally busy hanging out inside of giant trees and finding new things to look at.










We ended up camping at Orick on the beach that night. With an abundance of firewood and soft sand to sleep on it was easily the most luxurious camp we have encountered yet. There were seals bobbing around in the surf
