Gold Rush coast redwood

RNP .. off the grid

by Mario Vaden

 

This redwood Gold Rush is as far off the beaten path as it gets, discovered with Chris Aktins in Redwood National and State Parks. The area is not very accessible to most people, unless you consider mountain bikes conventional. The day's bushwack was long both ways. I think we went through more than one set of batteries getting out with flashlights. This may be the longest post-sunset bushwhack I've ever done. This redwood can also be lumped-in with the finds that kick-started the new era of discovery

I added this to my redwood links under extraordinary and unusual. Those headings cover redwoods that have exceptional diameters,l volume or unusual and odd characteristics. The may be the only photo I have for this redwood. I think we passed the Twin Towers of Humboldt early the same day.
