Whatever is that last position for Gary? Ninja spanking?

I'll let you know when I figure it out.

Best wishes for Terri, I hope her ankle isn't hurt badly.
Looking forward to the pictures and stories. By 'morning', are you speaking of your typical 4am awakenings?

My ankle's fine, just a little sore. I fell twice. Once backward, once forward. Forward hurts worse. It was worth it. The forest is such a beautiful place to spend time, especially off trail where it's easier to get hurt.

Out of about 60 photos I took yesterday these are what I have chosen to share. All these trees can be found in and around the Calf and Cow Creek area of Bull Creek Flats. Although there is about 3/4s of a mile stretch within that section as yet uncovered by us. Some areas of the flats are nearly a quarter of a mile and will need some transverse hiking to truly cover what is there. So after ISA Terri and I will be going back to do that. Which could still take a couple of days. There's just so much there.

Rather plump old things . Can you imagine those old timers attacking those things with axe and crosscut,mercy me .

Gerry, you may not have found what you are looking for yet, but with sights like that I can see why you dont seem so dissapointed.

Good on you Gerry, happy hunting, I am not jelous at all:roll:

 

[MasterBlaster]

Imagine a couple of those in your backyard!

 

[Frans]

Sillitt or however you spell his name is an ass. Just read carefully his book and you will see.

 

[darkstar]

Yeah a couple those leaning toward your house hmm.
Gerry you look so tiny compared to those monsters.

 

[gf beranek]

If I could only lose 25 more pounds those trees would look a lot bigger.

 

[Old Monkey]

You keep hiking around and you'll get there.

I just watched an episode of Planet Earth that had some guys climbing some 300' + redwoods. I fell asleep at the end and did not get to hear who it was or if it was one of the tallest trees. They circled over it in a helicopter and you could see a river to get a bearing on where it was.

Nice pics Gerry. As many times as I've been through there I'm still in awe. Should of gone with ya. I could have ran over the hill to my dads and visited.

 

[gf beranek]

Less than an hour away, Greg. I'd like to see your Pop again. It's been a few years. Charming fellow and great host.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Jerry, the atmosphere of that area, it appears that you guys are walking around some fantasy land. Really strange and cool....the wonderment.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

We could say the same of your home there Jay

 

[klimbinfool]

Wood, you should see the Redwood Ferry's that come out at nite...

 

[gf beranek]

The natural world is truly beautiful. As locals in an area we tend to forget the natural beauty of where we live. I think having a love of photography demonstrates an appreciation of our surroundings, but by no means is photography the only means of expressing it.

Today Terri and I went to West Port, about 15 miles up the coast, and this is what it looked like.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Wood, you should see the Redwood Ferry's that come out at nite...

I've seen them . I lived in a cabin in the Watsonville Redwoods for four years.

 

[klimbinfool]

hmmm, makes me want to go home...Stop that Ger.

 

[Mrs.B]

Greg, speak of things that go bump in the Redwood Forest--what is the bird that we hear around Bull Creek--real shrill, long tweet sound, way up high in the trees?

 

[klimbinfool]

you got me there...often wonderd myself...I will have to ask my cousin in Eureka she's a wildlife bio. and does the bird thing.
