big trees

We've returned from our weekend in the woods. Portola State Park is a nice enough campground with a great staff, but it didn't top our top fave: Big Basin. Next time we manage to sneak off for a couple days we'll be checking in with the double B and playing in the creek again. (At Portola the creek's part of some domestic water supply and you have to keep out, although we did see plenty of racoons playing in the water. They must've missed the signs.)

As usual, I'm posting a couple pictures below, but I also had a little movie I really wanted Dad to see which I couldn't email. He asked once what it was like to camping in the middle of the redwoods and this gives a little glimpse at it all. It's a pretty big file at a little over 15MEGs, so don't click through if you're on a slow connection. Unless of course you're desperate to see site 23 at Portola State Park and willing to wait a while for it to download.

our new (and much larger) tent came in handy since there were four of us
thanks to ebay (and G's eagle eyes), it didn't have a very large pricetag


a little scary to see after recent news events, but we made plenty of noise


G threatens to topple PG&E who were relaxing after our excursion


someone had painted this at our campsite...odd, but rather pleasing
