Default Re: Redwoods: A "Must Read"

That was my first choice to as it did say they enetered south of the highway.

What threw me was the river to cross to get to Stout Grove, but I dont know if it's a big enough river you have to swim or just a creek. That's what threw me.

Mario, can you get any decent detailed topo maps?

I like these puzzles ... sort of like those mystery orienteering hikes with compasses and a map.

Also, they didn't seem to concerned about taking a heep of gear for staying the night etc, just wearing a T-Shirt means (for "exploreres") they were expecting a day stroll and little chance of getting lost ... probably due to roads on boundaries.

Pity those other trees aren't marked, then it would be a lot easier to nail it.

Nice, just had a Google Earth update, some 13mb file, way clearer now!

Mario, I have orientated my map same as yours, noticed that from Stout Grove a track follows the river south to a bridge.

Also I carefully scanned that area looking for some daylight patches and circled likely ones in red but more likely ones in yellow.

That's the way I'd go in to have a look to save fighting the terrain.
