Towering Trees and the Coast that Wins Hearts.

I'd love to take some time to tell you about the trees that are wider than elephants and taller than any man made structure in Central Illinois. I'd love to tell you about the ancient Redwood forests and how incredibly powerless you'll feel in the presence of these erect and colossal towers.
I suppose I could go into further detail, but this is really something you should witness for yourself. Seeing these trees up close and personal will change your perspective of the world. You might decide that you believe in Sasquatch too.

What else...


I'd love to go into detail about camping on the northern California beach or driving along 341 miles of rugged coast, speckled by evergreen trees and jungle-like foliage.
I'd like to tell you more about the massive boulders that project from the waters and how these statue-like mounds evoke geological curiosity and awe. (one of the reoccurring visual highlights of the coast).
The beaches seem as vast as the ocean; they go on for a great distance until fading out into a haze of gentle mist.
Sea Lions hunt crustaceans in the surf-tide during sunset and I sit in the sand with a bag of fresh picked cherries and 40 ounces of PBR. It is all very much a paradise.













Without argument, the 101 is the finest highway you'll ever drive. Don't argue!

I'd love to tell you much much more, but I've traveled a much further distances since those days and have fallen on more crucial times that you will probably find more entertaining than the ongoing beauty of the west coast. So I must get caught up.

... More to come. In the mean time enjoy these photos.
