    I recommend every one to take the trip out there and view them. If you have to choose between the redwoods/sequoias, the choose sequoias park. No regrets.

    (Yeah, I know they are both the same tree....)

    If they could only talk, eh?
    “Say George, you see that baby Yooper down there?”
    “Why yes Dudley, I do.... bet he grows into an old fellah, with some <100 lbs. lady...”

    Ok, they didn’t really say that- but we know it’s true!

    Actually, while visiting the Sequoia National Park, I was asked politely to leave. Seems some of the tree hugging visitors complained about the sounds of a revving chain saw every time I got out of the car!

    Some of those probably lived through all human civilization. Pretty neat. Now let's get our axes and chop em down.

    They almost look fake! That’s how amazing they are. Can you imagine the first settlers when they saw them!
