Dan ...

I'm sure that I posted my redwood page in comment at another blog or page of yours - this one:

Largest California Redwoods

If you get back out to the west coast and can make it to the redwoods, I can't share where those undisclosed groves are, but there is one off-trail area that I think you would appreciate.

Down the line, if you come out this way to hike near there, just email and mention you are "Dan from Spain" to refresh my memory.

Cheers,
