Avenue of the Giants. A scenic road that parallels Highway 101 in the Humboldt Redwoods Park. About 50 miles south of Eureka.
The classic photo showing the size difference between car and tree.
The Eel River is clean and a pretty green color here.
Stores sell carved Redwood Sculptures to visitors.
In the early spring the hills are green.
Very rare, generally the hills in California are brown.

This place that we live has great opportunity for finding serenity...
"finding a serenity prayer at the post office"
Hi, I'm greg and I'm an alcoholic. My share for November 22 2006. My friend had spent the entire day working on custom greeting cards on the computer. She finished the last card, the glue had dried and everything that needed to sparkle, had been sparkled... She got her boots on and she walked on down the hall... out the door and down the street... To the post office... at exactly 5:02 PM... yep, late... she could hear the sounds of our post master inside, but you have to be on time at the post office... so she looked down at her elbow and saw… "THE SERENITY PRAYER" printed on a bookmark... Gee, just when she needed a bookmark, a bookmark appeared... not that she needed to mark a book, but the concepts expressed4u... were exactly what was needed to calm the frustration of being late and missing out on good stuff... So, when I got home, we drove over to the other post office, mailed all the cards, stopped and bought a steak sandwich and came home... and all was right with the world... on time and only slightly over budget... we can just write that off to experience...
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That's my share... a slice of life in beautiful downtown Cutten, CA...
