Redwoods California

Here are a few video clips I took during September 2006 at the Grizzly Creek Redwood State Park in northwest California just outside Eureka. This was a nice place to camp and go for an early morning stroll. Only thing I didn't like was that it was pretty close to the two lane going thru the forest. Little noisy at times. Nothing a couple brews couldn't cure however. Here is some trivia I recently discovered. The steadycam shots for the speeder bike sequences in one of the Star Wars movies were filmed at Owen Cheatham grove in Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park.

Sweet, i live right by the park

Your lucky. I would like to be able to see these tree's whenever I wanted. Many of them I've been told are thousands of years old. Some of the oldest living things on earth. I was really impressed. It felt kind of ominous in a way. Being around them. It may sound corny to some but I felt honored being in their presence. They were hanging before Jesus Christ was watching the sun come up in the morning.

Since you enjoy the redwoods, check out some images on a redwood page about the largest known redwoods. GOOGLE THIS:

mdvaden + Grove of Titans Redwoods

Look for "mdvaden" in the URL at the top of the search results. I built the page because images online of those trees were too few and hard to come by.

I have seen these awesome trees and I feel like the others that visit there,they are hushed and lush and we do feel honored to be in their presence. I am thankful for places like this that we are privileged to visit. Thanks for posting this and I think I will subscribe to you and see what else you can show me about the outdoors and natures beauty.

Grizzly Creek is on the list of State Park Closures. Write to the Governor and save this park. I have started a group called "Save California's State Parks" if you would like to join.

yeah it is really kool, im looking at the same trees right now, and yes they are thousands of years old. acually we had a wind storm about 2 years ago maybe, and it took down lots and lots of the trees in the midle because they were not strong enouph to with stand the wind.
