I grew up on the East Coast, so my first trip to Big Basin Redwoods State Park [0] was awe-inspiring. I'm glad to see this tree surviving so far from its preferred environment.

- drdeadringer 5y agoI also grew up on the East Coast. My first "real" job out of University had me pinball around the continental US, which eventually lead me to California. When I drove down from Washington [state], I passed through a grove of Redwoods. Having never been to California and never seen live and in person Redwood trees before, I took a few minutes to pull over and chill. Clearly an experience I still remember.
