Can't see the wood for the trees

Humboldt Redwood State Park is home to some 100 of the 130 tallest trees in the world, and we were lucky enough to drive through today. The tallest trees are 110m tall, as high as a 30storey building, but they have roots only a few feet deep- they link roots together for strength. Seems to work quite well- they've been around for some 2000years!

Christina and I are stood next to what was the tallest tree in the world- until it fell over in 1991. Hopefully we will see the tallest in the world, Hyperion, in the Redwoods State Park tomorrow.

And the famous drive through tree was also on the way today- they made it big enough for an SUV to fit through!

Crazy temperature shifts again today, it was 52F this morning on the coast, 90F inland on the way North, and back down to 55F this afternoon on the coast. Christina is having all sorts of clothing issues!
