Redwood

I want my $5 back.

Driving south from Portland, we entered California from the North, amid a minor freakout at the agricultural stop.

I have nothing to declare

Previously slated for Sequoia National Forest, we stayed an extra day in the Redwoods.  It is difficult to sum the experience without being there; a part of the thrill of the enormous trees is knowing how close they came to being logged into extinction.  The so-called Big Tree was slated to become a dance floor before being rescued by the outraged citizenry.

From the school of extreme understatement

Thankfully the park had a number of concerned stewards who were able to save it from destruction.

I am to redwoods what Jackie O. is to Grand Central.

More on this to come, having to run out.....Making a run for Colorado today.
