I can just imagine the wonder and amazement as you walked about touching these age old trees!!!!<br />Did you hug the trees?

Aren't they just beautiful?? <br /><br />Thank you Mr Clark and Mr Mann and Pres. Lincoln for saving these stately beauties!! It's fascinating that given their height they were regarded as hoaxes by the 19th century. These trees must have been so decimated by then!! I love how a few good people could make such an everlasting influence, thank goodness! I hope these trees continue to live out in peace.<br /><br />I just adore the names given to some of these - the Fallen Monarch, Bachelor and Three Graces, Grizzly Giant and Faithful Couple. Long may they last.<br /><br />And yay for cayotes and squirrels - you can't have a forest without wild animals too!<br /><br />Thank you so much for these amazing pics and info - take care<br />xOld Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185547869183611159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-21318662565897056372010-09-27T16:18:12.361-04:002010-09-27T16:18:12.361-04:00Oh Pat, I'd love to see those sequoias someti...Oh Pat, I'd love to see those sequoias sometime.
