Some BIG Trees

Capping our first day up the coast we visited Armstrong Redwoods

Some damn big trees, even if not quite as big as some of the "Giant Sequoia" further inland.



I guess that, on average they stand 5plus times as tall as our pines, and, of course, much greater diameter ... but then our pines are just over 45 years old, not up to 1400 years!
