Driving north along California route #101 through  Mendocino, Humboldt and Del Norte Counties, one  reaches the fantastic old growth REDWOOD Groves of Sequoia Sempervirens. These are the world famous groves of "Palo Rojo" or Sequoia Sempervirens. These bucolic spots  for many years known as "The Redwoods" were popular tourist spots on the road north. These photos were taken during the last century when a precious few were saved for posterity.
