When my sons were
growing up our family camped every summer in the coastal redwoods of
California. We loved the state parks – Big Basin, Patrick’s Point, Prairie
Creek, Portola, Butano, Grizzly Creek, Henry Cowell. Being in an old growth redwood forest is like being in a cathedral. You are humbled by the scale of these trees – both their height and their age. They tower 200 feet above you, and some of them are over 2000 years old.
