More Redwoods

Back on Highway 101

Moving south, and a little inland, the trees are getting bigger.

My "RT" is not exactly a small bike, but it looks tiny next to this tree.

And from across the road too!

Big Tree

A little further down the road is the "Big Tree" site. And this is a big tree. The information board quotes the following data.

20.7	Estimated Age	1500 years

$The imaginatively names \$

It's impossible to photograph this tree (in a meaningful manner) to show its size. There was a walking trail, and perhaps somewhere along there it would be possible. However, motorcycle gear is not the most appropriate walking gear, and so I didn't follow the trail.

$Some blue bird which appeared in \$

This bird was very tame, coming quite happily into the parking lot, and getting quite close to me before deciding to fly into the tree.
