Did I say sunny California? The truth is, all these redwoods need a lot of water, which happens to come often in the springtime. Luckily we have the outlook of the dry and hot southwest desert to keep us motivated. By the time we hit New Mexico, we'll probably be doing rain dances.
Over the last few days we have been cruising through redwood country. The trees which make up this enormous organism are epic in girth and height. Today we rode down the Avenue of the Giants. It is a beautiful road, and I sincerely suggest riding, walking, or driving through. The road is being absorbed by the massive trees lining it, and this fight between human and nature creates a beautifully secluded alley. It's great that someone saw the intrinsic value of these trees and has successfully protected them. Without such stewardship, we could only hear about the great redwood sequoias that use to thrive.
