We explored a new section of the Jedediah Smith Redwood Forest today. It’s a one lane dirt road, and at times, barely wide enough for your car to fit between the redwoods! It’s a magnificent old growth area which has obviously withstood fire, pestilence and people for at least a thousand years. Let’s just pray it’ll be around another thousand if we don’t screw it all up with pollution, politics and people!
One of my favorite pictures from today is of course a burl piece resembling an orangutan! Maybe it looks like something else to you! Take a gander!
Jenni will post the video from today’s drive on FB as WP seems to always give me heartburn when I try to upload it through here…probably because I haven’t upgraded from the “free” version as yet!
Our adventure began at the “Trees of Mystery” shop where we found Sasquatch and an authentic Indigenous Peoples (you may refer to them as Native Americans) museum. It was quite an impressive collection for such a small town!
Check out this Apache Fiddle!
So, here are the still shots of the redwoods from today!
Where’s Montana? She’s in the redwood forest!
Conjoined triplets at the base with a twisted sistah in the middle! LOL
Rare sighting of the Banana Slug! This one is a baby compared to the one I saw in this forest 20 years ago!
Looks like an eagle with its wings spread. What does it look like to you?
Nothing goes unused in the forest! Note that this young redwood germinated and is growing from a fallen one along with all the ferns in the next photo!
Same fallen tree as the one immediately above!
HAPPY TAILS!
