In this picture, I am standing next to a SMALL Redwood that has fallen or was cut down by vandals. There are many Redwoods that were down from one reason or another, but since they do not have taproots, once they begin to start falling, there is not much there to save them from going all the way over. Now as I mentioned earlier, Redwoods grow in groves. One set of roots may sprout a number of trees. There is one such grove that my best guess is approximately 60 foot in diameter, so when you walk into the center, which is devoid of much else, it is quite the realization that there could have been either a smaller grove or a single parent tree in the location perhaps milleniums ago. Ok, enough of the Redwoods for now....
