Downloaded the pictures from the digital camera last night, and have a few minutes this morning before we have to head to the airport to catch our flight to Kauai (9:13 PDT Departure).

This is what I mean by a "really BIG tree". Even makes me look small! Over 16 feet in diameter, and 250 feet tall. Estimated age is about 2,000 years old!

Well, it’s time to get ready to move onwards… Today is Marianne’s birthday, so we are extending her day by three hours so she can celebrate longer <grin>. More to follow from the SideKick LX-2009…

Sitting in the rental car playing with the Sirius Satellite Radio… Hopefully will have a seat soon… Buzzz… Buzzz.. Time to go in and “Pepper in Some Fun!”

Our first two stops today were at the Big Basin and Henry Cowell Redwood State Park Visitor Centers. We walked the short trails at both parks, but I only took pictures with the SideKick LX-2009 at the Henry Cowell park. I was using the DVD Recorder at Big Basin.

Marianne was taking pictures with the Kodak digital camera at both parks, but I haven’t gotten to those pictures yet… I am post-timing this post to the time we were at the park, and these are some of the pictures from Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park:
