Don't know for sure if I did either copy and paste correctly until I make the post. Hope I get at least one right.

Hi Jerry,
Yup. that's them! The Old Ones.
There's nothing else on the planet quite like them.
I feel humbled and awed every time I see them.
Beautiful video. Thank you!

I like how you chose to walk by the trees to show scale. Nice work Jerry.

Superb, Gerry.


What a collection of giants!

The walk through the trees,,, Oh, yeah

I have a couple still shots of a group of Sequoia's in the park called, of all things, "The Parker Group"

I'll resize and post them for you, Jamin!

Hey jerry I too have a son named Parker and might like to print it as a poster for his room. Would you please pm me so I can talk to you about it? Thanks

Here's two images of the trees in the Parker Group.

Is there a story behind the name? Would you happen to have a pic of more/all of the trees? Thanks

 

[MikePoor]

Thanks for the video Jerry! I remember the first time i saw Sequoias i was amazed. I thought it would wear off, but after being out there a few years, i was still floored every time i saw them. After all the years you've spent with them Jerry, do you ever get "bored with them?"

 

[Jamin_Mayer]

Thanks for that Jerry. I had Parker and the other 2 boys come and look at the Parker Group. They loved it!

jerry b, that was a great video. those things are some beauties. very majestic. almost magical. i'm very jealous of you west coasters. yall have all the cool stuff, except southern women.

There's just so much in the park to see and after walking through it for four days we just covered the main trails. There's miles of secondary hiking trails yet to cover in the Giant forest alone. Redwood canyon is another part of the park that contains the largest continuous stand of Sequioas and I have never even been into it. Hike in only and I've heard you can spend a week in the canyon and not see it all.

Get bored? Never! In fact each day is as exciting as the first. With the one exception of sore feet. Boy that foot injury is really taking the fun out of the hiking. I'm really paying for it now.

 

[Gerald_Beranek]

Oh, the story behind the name? Parker? Not sure, but I do know that the park changes the names on some of the trees from time to time.

 

[Winterbush]

Thanks for the pics next on the agenda is to get Parker out there to have a pic of him with the Parker group. I really appreciate it.

Saves me a trip every time I see one of your videos. It also inspires me to go to the Sierras and get some of that clean fresh air in me lungs. Keep up the great work it will be enjoyed by many for years to come. Not only that you do an excellent job of editing the films. WOW

Nice one.

Enjoyable from beginning to end.
