| maprunner: | is one of my favorite maps (or was, until it got so overgrown). Any map where the rootstock symbols have to include the trunk is cool, in my book. |

| Cristina: | Yeah, I thought I'd remembered hearing about orienteering there, so I was a bit surprised when the lady at the visitor center told me I couldn't run off trail. Once I got going I realized that I wouldn't want to, at least near that trail - it was ridiculously steep everywhere, with lots and lots of growing things. I can't imagine being able to get anywhere! But it was quite stunning to look at... |

| Ricka: | We flew Zan out there solo for the A-meet in about 1997 - I realized that you don't often get to orienteer in the red woods - Minariks took great care of her. The park has been closed to orienteering for a long time. Fran and I walked her Orange courses 2 years ago - yes, illegally venturing off-trail :). And I made a great walking stick from a shard of red wood - used it in latest Grunt, US Champs, and Short Trot races. |

| chitownclark: | ...as if their most distinguishing characteristic is their color, not their size....
And even more amazing is that the redwoods at Big Basin and Muir Woods are the "small" redwoods. If you go up to the Sierras, to Sequoia or Yosemite National Parks, you can see the "big" redwoods....Sequoia Giganteum...awe inspiring. |

| Cristina: | I've seen the big ones. That's why I made the comment. |
