For those of you who don't know about California Redwoods and their symbiotic relationship with fire: the trunks are all that's left over of the world's largest trees (Redwoods) after a wildfire, like here in Big Basin 3 years ago. All the branches burnt off, but the trunks were protected by thick bark so they remain standing and alive. Now they are regrowing branches everywhere! (Looks like cypress trees! But will turn in to a Redwood again in due course.)
