I grew up on the East Coast, so my first trip to Big Basin Redwoods State Park [0] was awe-inspiring. I'm glad to see this tree surviving so far from its preferred environment.

I also grew up on the East Coast.

My first "real" job out of University had me pinball around the continental US, which eventually lead me to California.

When I drove down from Washington [state], I passed through a grove of Redwoods. Having never been to California and never seen live and in person Redwood trees before, I took a few minutes to pull over and chill.

Clearly an experience I still remember.


Big Basin is mostly closed just now after the CZU fire, but I can recommend Henry Woods [1] if you are visiting Mendocino.
