Ummm, the tallest trees in the world barely reach 370'...

Tallest Tree In The World

There’s little argument that the California redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens) are the tallest living trees on our planet. These trees often grow to more than 100 meters tall.

In August 2006, a new “tallest tree in the world” was found. Once again, it was a California redwood, and it’s location was Redwood Forest ( Redwood National Park, California). This tree has been named “Hyperion” (from Greek mythology) and stands 115.55 meters (379.1 feet) tall!

How did they Measure the Tree?

The most accurate way of measuring a tall tree like Hyperion is to climb to the top, and drop a weighted tape measure. And that’s exactly what Steve Sillett did. Here’s a 2 part video of Steve measuring the world’s tallest tree for The Guinness Book of World Records. This video footage was taken for National Geographic.

...and none of 'em are in the Bay Area.

What's up with that??

California has quarantined all the pussies to the Bay Area, Palm Springs and Hollywood, in the south they roam around all over the place.

Sorry my Lilliputians,


Didn't mean for the silhouette in the background (3,000 ft. to 4,500 ft. mountains of the San Francisco Bay Area).... as a means of confusing you.




Michigan's Highest Point Mt. Arvon, MI
1,979 ft.

Colorado... has yet to score an ocean and is infiltrated by a population of 80% white trash... due to the military.... SMOG, and freezing cold winters.



You should get a load of what we have a few hours away from the Bay Area....

The highest mountain in the United States... outside of Alaska.


California's Highest Point Mt. Whitney, CA
14,494 ft
.


When you're successful in life.... you have a nicer backyard.

No - 'Bama ain't perfect, but there's a lot less pussies there.

Hope you understand.

You do live in Georgia... ?








I think we'll call this case closed.








Blueblood

Sam, while I'm sometimes loathe to support m2's out of place jingoism I gotta say he's right on this one. Sure, you may take Georgia's mountains and Bama's forests and beaches but I highly doubt you'd take them over California's.

Georgia has a nice little mole hill. California has mountains which are world class enough to have hosted the Winter Olympics. They have the largest and most beautiful alpine lake in America, Lake Tahoe. They have the entire Sierra Nevada range, plus a bunch of others, including m2's tiny little Bay Area speed bump of a mountain range.

Forests?

:)

California's forests will make those in the southeast look like tumbleweeds whistling through Tombstone. California has the forests primeval.

If you'd like I could talk about the size of our trees?



Beaches??



We also have deserts, both of the high and low kind.

Moreover, no state in the country even approaches California for awesome motorcycle roads. No other state comes close to having the number or variety.

When you talk about wishing people would get out of their own backyard more all I can say is until you've really seen what California has to offer you really haven't seen what America has to offer, in terms of natural scenic beauty. Only Alaska rivals California in that sense and even there, no, not entirely.

California is nearly unique on planet earth, with only New Zealand and arguably South Africa offering similar scenic attributes.

The southeast is no doubt bitchin' (and sweaty) but in terms of natural scenic beuaty it takes a very decided backseat to California. You truly need to point that scooter of yours westward, with a plan to spend a good month (do it in late spring or early fall) rolling up and down this state.

That'd make for the PET to end all PETs...

'Spray, as I've said many times before there is no such thing as "living in California," singular.

Living in Yreka, California is much more like living in Montgomery, Alabama than it's like living in San Francisco or Newport Beach. Living in downtown San Francisco is much more like living in New York City or Amsterdam than it's like living in Bishop, California. Living in Kettleman City, California is much more like living in Omaha, Nebraska than it's like living in Newport Beach.

California could easily be four or five completely separate and disparate states. California could be broken up into Coastal SoCal, which is the California most people envision when they think of California. It's pockets of obscene wealth surrounded by teeming hordes of broke ass Messicans. A second California state could be East SoCal, which is fucking enormous, and nearly all empty desert. Central California would be mostly rural and mostly agricultural, from the coast to the Nevada border. Other than Sacramento and a few other smaller cities most of Central California would be one big agricultural valley, the world's largest and most important, bordered by coastal mountains to the west and the soaring Sierra Nevadas to the east. The Bay Area would be its own state too, a weird and wealthy enclave like Luxumbourg. If California were Switzerland the Bay Area would be Geneva. Everything north of the Bay Area, comprising a full 1/3rd of the state, would be Superior California and it'd be nearly all mountainous and unpopulated. In fact people from the far north of the state already consider themselves separate from the rest of the state and they already refer to themselves as "Superior Californians" and believe me, whatever your low opinion is of San Francisco and its inhabitants...it pales in comparison to the low regard people from Superior California have for San Francisco.

They don't even consider the Bay Area to be "northern California" because it's too far south. They consider it to be the northern border of central California.

Northern California could easily be mistaken for rural Oregon...or Maine. It's nothing like L.A., S.F. or San Diego, which are scarcely similar to each other.

Probably.

Won't see a lot of it in Newport Beach though, where SoCalTrjn says he lives. You also won't see a lot of it most anywhere else in the state. As with most homeless types they're pretty much confined to the inner cities.

Pretty sure Atlanta has their fair share too...

not a lot of brick buildings in LA, that pic is likely somewhere else
Jane Fonda was born in New York and lives in Atlanta, Georgia but since you have never gotten a single thing right in your lifetime, there's no reason to expect you to start now.
I live in Coto de Caza, born and raised in Irvine/Lake Forest, you have me confused with someone else

Fine, Coto de Caza. The points still stand. Coto de Caza has about as much to do with Weaverville, California as Weaverville has to do with Cannes. Coto de Caza also doesn't have much of a problem with homeless types lying around its urban cityscape...since there isn't one.

Hell, last I heard Jane lived on a huge ranch in Montana...

'Spray, you probably don't want to get into a pissing match about shitty places to live, not with a guy who lives in Coto de Casa. Now, whether or not he really does live there, or how did he come to live there, those might be valid points.

As locales go though there isn't a single place in all of Bama that can touch Coto de Caza.

Just be glad SoCalTrjn isn't m2, otherwise he'd now flood this thread with misinformation and giant, generic pics of CdC and the surrounding areas...

No, they'd never get through the gates


dont find a single tie between Fonda and California, the fact that a dumbass from Georgia says he hates California because he thinks another dumbass who lives in Georgia is from California says all anyone needs to know about the overall dumbassness of the south. The south is Americas short bus


Coto is just a place to live, not much different than any other. Newport is great and Id like to be able to live there but the wife and kids want a yard and theres no room for a batting cage in Newport Harbor, maybe I can talk them in to CDM

I would imagine that you live in a trailer in Furnace Creek.

That would be hell on earth.

Hey, what's a Georgia Boy like you doin' knowin' about Furnace Creek??

Why? Is there that much else to talk about on this board right about now?

BTH, just keep in mind that 'Spray has had as much to do with this as any of the California posters in this thread.

Well, okay, other than m2, who never passes up on opportunity to drop non sequitur pics and Cali stuff into any thread.

If you guys want to fault Cali posters because of m2, well okay...but wait, doesn't he also claim to live in Houston, and a million other places?? Why do we have to solely claim him? You fuckers have visitation rights too, you know!

Van wrote: California is nearly unique on planet earth, with only New Zealand and arguably South Africa offering similar scenic attributes.

It's fairly interesting the way any place not inundated with tract housing, 80-story buildings, and everyone's litter tends to take your breath away.

I've done parts of the Garden Route in ZA and doubt I've seen anything more beautiful even though I've been to California.

May I recommend one of the first books I read at Cal for my course study in Cultural Geography as a freshman. It makes a hell of a lot more sense than you do.






Garreau argues that the San Francisco Bay Area is the Capitol of Ecotopia.... and I'd have to agree.

Wtf?? Why are you pinning Ren Faires on me??

If you're going to pin All Things California on me why don't you pin the Playboy Mansion on me.

That being said, yes, I have attented three or four Ren Faires in my life. Those big ass turkey legs, Susan loves those things, and my first wife was a Sicilian hottie who lived to show off her big Eyetalian tits so dressing her up in Slut Wear for the Ren Faire (or just to go to grocery store) was always a highlight for us.

I'd hazard a guess that most people on this board have also attented a Ren Faire or two sometime in their life. In fact, 'Spray, I bet you've attended one or two yourself. I'd imagine you've even been invited back, as a performer.

You'd be nails as the randy old blacksmith who says "cheeky" things to all the busty lasses strolling by your smithy...
