What time is it there?!

The next day we headed north from Eureka to the main Redwood National Park. We had planned to go to the area called ‘Tall Trees Grove’ to see the tallest tree in the world but the park ranger advised us that we didn’t really have time to get there and back before dark and then went on to tell us that it wasn’t the tallest tree in the world anyway as the top got blown off a couple of years ago ....... we shall be writing to all the guide book publishers notifying them of their errors (even the park brochure was incorrect!).

We did however manage to see a LOT of VERY BIG trees, even if they weren’t the tallest in the world ...... after a couple of hours surrounded by these monsters, they all look MASSIVE and the same!

With crooks in our necks from too much looking up we headed for a tree that you could drive through, just for the fun of it really. There isn’t anywhere that the main road goes through a tree but there are three places where (for a small fee) you can drive ‘thru’. Once again we mis-calculated the shortening days and dusk was upon us as we arrived. This didn’t stop us and at least it meant the we didn’t have to queue.
