Taiji in Avenue of the Giants

We used the 4th of July holiday to make a trip to north of California, into Oregon, all the way to the Crater Lake.  There were many many beautiful places and scenic routs to visit, which is another story, but our visit to Avenue of the Giants was of significance.

Avenue of the Giants is a 31 mile drive that goes in parallel to highway 101 through Humboldt Park, south of Eureka, CA.  It's a huge huge forest of redwood trees, some of them two to three thousand years old.  A very tranquil place, in which you feel history and old time.  The sublime feeling of being surrounded by these ancient trees makes one feel humble and insignificant.

I gave myself an hour or so to just walk in the forst, get away from the road, feel surrounded by the mystical feeling of the trees, and then meditate and do Taiji.  It was a great, unique feeling...
