More Avenue of the Giants

[gf beranek]

Well, on 1/11/09 Terri and I took the morning to hike through the groves along the Avenue of the Giants. And here is just a little of what we found.

The south fork of the eel was perfect color for steelhead fishing, as there were a lot of drift boats working the pools and riffles.

Awesome! Man you got some nice woods around you. Makes me yearn for spring.

Keep them coming, Jer and Terri! Fine pictures.

WOW, it always amazes me to see trees that big. One day I hope to see one up close!!!

Looks like they've seen a forest fire or two in their day.

Very cool!!!

In the meantime and next couple of months you will have a gander at the biggest and meanest trees along the avenue. All courtesy of digital photography and the internet,,, and too, Terri and me.

Jerry, I started a stock trading account a couple weeks ago with the last of my savings account. In a year or two I'm going to take some of my profits and take a trip out there to see those trees in person. Hopefully you will be kind enough to show me around.

im always impressed by how the road goes back and forth around the trees, blacktop right up to the trunks and grooves 12-14' up where truckers have ruined box trailers

I can do that for you, Brian. It would take some planning on both our parts to manage. And I know it would be fun showing you all these views up close and personal.

Jerry, ever thought about being a payed guide to the "big trees"? Don't know if that would interest you or not, but I think there would sure be a lot of folks who would want to take advantage of your expertise. Got to be some hassle involved in that too, however.

The thought has crossed my mind more than a few times, Jay. But right now it's not in the cards. The future is always open though.

Yeah I was up there just a couple months ago. There's one heck of a wind fall patch up there.
