The ones posted after the Muir woods sign are from there, the earlier ones were from the Avenue of the Giants and Jackson State Forest.
 
No champion trees here, just some I have worked on.
This blowdown was fractured lengthwise and kept grabbing my saw. I was using 2 saws, one to free the other at times. I also had to hike in past a landslide a 1/2 mile.

A Giant Sequoia I helped my friend Andy mill. The 12' long butt log weighed 10 tons and was nearly 8' in diameter.

Another blowdown, this one blocking the road so it was a hurry-up job. About 5' DBH.

A half and half. It fell on its own then I had to cut it off the stump. I really hate trees with this much side bind. It moved 4' off the stump in a fraction of a second.

Mop up on the Basin Complex, 2008. It was alot hotter than it looks. These redwood logs burn for weeks.

I can see them from my house too, hills and hills of them.
We went up to Grants Pass, I think we are done with that project, I won't miss that drive for awhile.
Next week we are driving south, lots of big trees on the way.
 
Yep Jerry, with side trips along the old parts of 101. It is a shame it got broken into pieces and some places have returned to nature. When I was a kid, it was a four hour drive to Eureka from Crescent City, less than a hundred miles. It took two days to get to SF from Scotia, had to stop in Willits. There were many improvements after 1964, the flood caused them to rethink, reroute and rebuild.
 
I drove up the #1 from SF. and got as far as Garberville the first day, seen a lot of redwoods on a side trip out through Jackson State Forest on the #20, then back through to Fort Bragg and on up to Leggit.
 
Believe it or not for a Redwood lover. Two years ago was the first time I made it to Eureka,and that whole drive avenue of the giant's etc. Jeanie, and I took a day trip with the dog's, and can't wait to go again.
 
The drive north from Eureka is very scenic, lagoons, streams, Elk, the Redwoods start at Orick, cruise the park on the old highway. Check out the massive clearcuts south of Klamath, regrowth is vigorous. Klamath to Crescent City is one of my favorite drives through Redwoods.
