Ya, you got it. We're about a 20 mile drive from oregon. The redwoods here are awesome! I really missed them, but I think it was worth it. Now when I look at them they aren't just another tourist attraction. I get that sense of awe that most locals that haven't left don't feel. I remember when I was a kid, 7 or 8 maybe, we used to climb them during mild wind storms and ride the tops like a carnival ride. In hindsight it was kinda stupid, I guess haha. Especially since you have to climb bark for the first 75 feet before you make it to a branch. As an adult I'm not quite the spit-fire I used to be, so I just enjoy being able to walk through the groves and just forget that the rest of society even exists.
