re: #270 lawhawk
The loggers tried cutting down the sequoias because they saw so much wood, but once they did, they found that the wood was really brittle and didn’t have much value. It was the lack of value that saved them in the long run. Thank goodness for that.
I’ve got to get up to the Redwood NP in CA sometime. Been to Muir Woods and saw the coastal redwoods there, but the ones up the coast are even taller. The sequoias are just huge beyond comprehension. They make skyscrapers in most cities look tiny by comparison.
Been to Muir and Yosemite once.
