OLD GROWTH

Redwood forests suddenly appear as you enter California as if they know the states borders and refuse to cross them. 

I left Oregon on Hwy 101 without seeing any giants. Perhaps I was to focused on the ocean to notice but they passed me by. I found a campground in an old grove of Redwoods that was amazing. They towered over the camp competing with each other for sunlight. The only trouble was there was no sunlight for the camp. The air and ground are constantly damp and you can't dry anything even though the forecast is sunny and warm. I didn't like it much even though I was blown away by the size of these giants.

The base of this one tree almost covered my entire camp. That means van and a big tent.
