California Vacation - Day 3

Today, Jessica and I got up early for the 170-mile drive up Highway 101 to Humboldt Redwoods State Park to see some Coast Redwoods. The scenery along the drive was amazing.




These trees are huge. It was almost unreal to see them in person.


Jessica is helping here to provide some perspective. The center marker shows the size of the tree when the Magna Carta was issued in 1215. The second to last outer marker on the right was the size of the tree when the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776.


Here Jessica is getting ready to drive through an old Coast Redwood. Jessica did most of the scary mountainous driving during the northern-most part of the drive since I am a wimp. By the way, this tree is still mostly alive despite the tunnel through the middle.
