The Redwoods & Route 1


Bus in a Tree!!!


Come to California!


First views of the Pacific at sunset.



Redwoods!






Redwoods are incredibly flame resistant because their sap is mostly water. I explain this in a video that I'll try to figure out how to upload later. Anyhow, they can survive fires and continue to grow even after their heartwood has burned. Hollow trees such as this one were used by settlers as enclosures for their animals and are called 'goosepens.'



EPIPHYTES!




Driving Hwy 1 South.


Sunset on Hwy 1.

We're in Mendocino at Moody's
We recommend it for the baked goods and hippie vibes. 

Next up: San Francisco & Bugorama!

  2. Very Cool guys.... looks like you are getting great wx... I know it may be off the beaten path... but a boat ride out to alcatraz for the "walking tour" is amazing....
