| Rockefeller gave 1 million $'s in 1926 to save the Redwoods after he had a picnic amongst them |
Sept 26/14 Weather Overcast in the morning, by 11am Sunny high of 75, night 54
Feels humid amongst the Redwoods. The pavement is wet and it looks like it stays that way all the time, with the trees towering 300 feet plus the ground never sees daylight.
We found a really nice campground on the scenic byway hwy 254 Avenue of the Giants, called
Ancient Redwoods RV Park. The byway is about 30 miles through the heart of the Founders Grove and the Ancient Forests.
You can stop all along the way and hike the trails. Looking straight up to the top of the trees makes you dizzy!

| kids would love these carved houses |
And of course there is another drive thru tree, which feels a little bit cheesy but we can't resist the photo op.....
It truly is wonderful that Rockefeller and the founders of the Save-the- Redwoods League have preserved these ancient forests.
