In the late 1800's and early 1900's San Francisco had an insatiable need for lumber, and the plentiful supply of tall redwoods over in Marin County filled the requirements perfectly.   Fortunately, redwood trees are able to regenerate from the roots of their toppled or cut trunks.

NOTE:   Bigger is better?   Well, let me know if this new larger size works for you or not -- it might be doing all sorts of strange things on your browser and monitor combination -- how's it working for you?

This is a low spot on the ridge where it's typically more moist than other parts of Mt. Tamalpais.   Fog often comes roaring through this spot like a freight-train.
