Hello everyone!!!

I have posted pictures from my camping trip to the HUGE old growth redwoods at Big Basin Redwoods State Park... And so many of you have asked for some more from the trip. So I thought I would post some more.

Big Basin State Park

This is one of the old signs that still adorn the south entrance to the park... It is on the side of the road, and I just kinda stopped in the middle of the road and hung out the window and snapped this picture.

Sunrise at Big Basin Redwoods State Park

This one is sunrise in the park... The sun shining through the redwoods make for a dramatic picture. Can you see the hula hoop in the foreground? Yeah, my niece loves that thing!

Bog Trees

The pictures do not do the HUGE trees justice! This was on a small hike that my son and I took in the morning... This is one the few remaining old growth redwood forests that exhist in the area. some of the trees are close to 350 feet tall!

Big Basin

Most of the trunks of these trees would take 10-15 people to reach all the way around...

More pictures? More awe and amazement Chris. They are very majestic and jaw dropping. Probably even more so in person
