We took a little overnight trip to the Eureka, CA area and visited the redwoods again. As we walked through the forest Rick kept saying, "That's a pretty big tree... That's a pretty big tree... That's a pretty big tree."


Paul Bunyan toppled this with one swing of his axe.

Rick says, "That's one big root wad!"

We had been driving through the redwoods for some time when as saw a sign announcing "Big Tree"! We laughed, then parked and walked to it. It's over 300 feet tall, 20 feet in diameter, and 68 feet in circumference. Rick said about this one, "That's a VERY big tree."

We thought this one was just about as big - but with so many giant redwoods everywhere, it's hard to tell!
