Redwoods


We drove all through the different groves of redwoods, starting in Crescent City down through the Avenue of the Giants.

I don't really know if there are words to describe them. I remember the first ones I saw I became speechless. My mind couldn't grasp their hugeness. Then as we continued to explore and walk around through the groves I got lost in another world. You aren't sure if this is actually real life. And you're always looking over your shoulder to see if a T-Rex might just jump out from behind one of these giants. You know he must be lurking around this mystical place.....

There are ferns everywhere. Perfectly green and perfectly placed to continue this journey into a magical adventure. The drops of sunlight peering through the tree tops add beams of light shooting across this dark and beautiful world. The air smells so fresh and alive you can taste it. And when you wrap your arms around one of these giants you realize it might take ten of you to get to the other side. I stretch my head as high as it can go and look upwards to see that the tops of these trees are no where to be found. 
What is this place??

Certain times you're almost ready for the trees to come alive and tell you stories of all the ages....

And then you're afraid if you even blink this whole place would disappear.... So you stare long and hard, awestruck at one of the most amazing things you will ever see
