God Bless. Be Gentle as the ‘Gentle Giant’. Be Passionate, with soft and nurturing words towards all. Have a fantastic week. Thank you for visiting and sharing your time and thoughts with us. I appreciate y’all very much.
In my youth my church youth group would go camping 🏕️ up in the Sequoia National Forest and sleep in big green military tents amongst the “gentle giants.”
Sequoiadendron gigantism aka Giant Sequoia
Girls would be in one or two small army tents and boys would be in separate tents in a separate area of the camp. Each tent had a capacity of up to 21 people, however, I think we only had about a dozen teenagers plus 1-2 adult chaperones per tent. [Side Note: when I camp I still sleep in tents].
Sequoia sempervirens aka Coast Redwood
It is amazing to walk amongst the Giant Sequoias often referred to as Coastal Redwoods, Coast Redwoods, and “Gentle Giants.” To look up at the sky through the center of a California Pacific Coast Redwood and walk amongst the trees so tall as if reaching up towards the heavens is mesmerizing.
