| Renata's Uncle Kurt's house outside Garberville, CA. (way up on the side of a Mtn. with no public power or water). (7/10) | Hence the solar arrays, 2 wells and satellite phone. (7/10) | Looking down hill from the house, wood for the stove and a friendly doe. (7/10) |

Just realized the picts were a bit out of order as we traveled the Avenue of the Giants before getting to Garberville. |
| A closer shot. She sometimes has her fawn with her. | The sun is setting behind the other side of the Mtn. (7/10) | So the next slides will be of the Redwoods. |

| Bigger pictures, but still not able to capture the full size of these trees. | -----> | -----> |

| This was just a small one. | A fallen giant on the forest floor | |

|
| Looking up in to the canopy. I recently read a book called "The Wild Trees" which was a | fascinating story of the Redwoods and those who climb and study them. | I learned there is a lot about a redwood you don't know unless you get up into the canopy. |

There is currently a bill to widen the roads through parts of the groves here to allow larger cattle truck to get through. That would mean cutting some of - |
| These great trees. Hopefully it will be defeated. | Too many have been lost to the lumber companies | and they can't be replaced in even several generations. |
