Winding Redwood forest roads,
In colorful California, carving through the
Steep, potentially collapsable mountainside.
A perfect balance of hot and cold,
Mountains and coastline,
Wilderness and civilization.
Coming to this place feels like
Everything is teetering on the edge of life and
Death, but that's the excitement we crave!
California is the sun's playground;
It is where the world's eternal children come to
play for the rest of their lives.
And much like this life,
We've got to have as much fun as possible
Before it all disappears into nothingness.
So play on flower-children, sun enthusiasts, water worshipers, Mountaineers, gold diggers, fantasy dwellers, reality repellers;
Each and every one of you--
Play on 'til death do us part!
Even the plants are savage! They are a fire-dependent species that are well adapted to survive burns. In fact, fire helps them get the next generation of sequoias started.” That’s because fire encourages the trees to drop their cones en masse. The blaze knocks out competition from other plants and provides a great shot of fertilizer in the form of ash." (From a national geographic article/video about Yosemite Giant Sequoias)
