Today we went for a walk through the redwoods. We picked out the Rohodendron trail that links up to the Cathedral trail and we figured it would take 2 or 3 hours. It was a really cool walk through some massive trees:
There were quite a lot that were burned but it didn't really look like a fire had been through, it was also weird because they look like they were burned from the inside out. (Later on, when we got to camp we were talking to the camp host and she said the burns were made from lightning striking the tree and the guts of it can catch on fire). Some trees were burned away so much inside that you can walk inside and sometimes through them, yet they still seemed to be alive. Crazy shit:
For lunch we made salami, cheese and bacon mustard sandwiches. They were extremely tasty. On the way home we found a few more interesting bits of trees:
When we were close to getting back to camp we found "Big Tree":
Of course it was pointless trying to take a photo of it, bit it was quite big. On the way back into the camp I spotted some elk first (this got me out of washing up duty):
They were a lot bigger than I thought.
For dinner we cooked a Pasta and salami dinner. We all decided our respective mums would be proud of us for cooking a relatively nutritious meal. We could have just eaten doritos and twinkies for dinner! We did have brownie for pudding though. Yum.
After dinner we roasted some marshmellows which are a bit different over here. They have a weird texture and kinda taste crap on their own. They are pretty damn delicious when they have been roasted though. I tried to take some photos of the stars but I kinda failed and my camera dropped off the bonnet of the van. It was about a 1.5m drop so it made quite a dent but all seems well.
