    Or refuse ALL entry INTO California... Retroactive about 10 years.

    Nothing beats a great piece of glass!

    I leave the digital work for the urologists and proctologists.

    Just to clarify, I didn't mean to discriminate any particular group... Except maybe politicians.

    All joking aside, on busy days, I've seen Point Lobos close the gate when the quota of cars have entered, a line forms, and when one car leaves, another is allowed in.

    Better to go to the real redwoods up the coast a couple hundred miles anyway...

    Muir Woods is vastly overrated. Try Big Basin, the first trees the Sierra Club saved and it is probably easier to get to.

    Muir Woods policy change

    When we lived in California, we'd go up to the trail of 100 giants north of Kernville. Way less crowded than the Muir Woods sound like. But it's also more remote unless you live near there like we did. The whole drive was scenic. Wife and I got married on the banks of the Kern River up there. Wish I had a better photography skills back then

    Different genus of trees in Kernville from those on the coast. An apples and oranges sort of thing.

    Last time I was in Muir Woods and similar areas, there was a huge population of seemingly homeless people living behind every tree.

    It was 1969, is that still the situation?

    Well, big trees are big trees and they are all awesome when you live in the desert like we did.
