Something Tells Me. . .

We're not in Hawaii anymore! After 6 glorious months in paradise, we decided it wasn't really for us. We missed the people, climate, and trees of the Pacific Northwest too much! Soooooo, we packed it all back up, shipped Wanda to Oakland and flew in to pick her up and head north. This is Kirsty standing in front of the Founders Tree in Humboldt Redwood State Park (on the Avenue of the Giants in the Founders Grove).

The tree is so tall I couldn't get it all in the picture!

This old growth tree has seen many fires, but still lives on.

Redwoods are so tall that they live in three different climate zones, one at the base, one along the stem, and one at the top.

 This picture, and the next two, are of the "Dyerville Giant" redwood which fell in 1991. It was about 370' tall, 17' in diameter, 52' in circumference, and weighed over 1,000,000,000 pounds!

I mean...damn!

So nice to see the Oregon grasses again!

We are heading up to Bellingham after a bit of camping in Oregon. If you've followed this blog for any length of time, you know we may or may not get there!

Peace my friends!
