sleeping giants

i spent the past few days with rachel at a camp site just outside of crescent city, california.  our goal: to see the sleeping giants of the redwood forrest.  our trip took us to the edges of the northern california and oregon coast where we often crossed state lines to find food.  the whole pumping your gas situation in oregon still confuses me.

i have never seen trees this big in my life and in some parts of the woods, i imagined the trees coming to life like the ents of the lord of the rings.  call me a nerd, but it’s pretty cool when you come up to something wider than a school bus and has been growing for thousands of years.  another interesting spot was the fern canyon where we told lost and jurassic park was filmed.  once again, i imagined what it would be like if the black smoke thing was chasing us.
