If I could travel to anywhere in the United States, it would probably be Redwood National Park in California. To get here, I would fly to Del Norte County Airport/Jack McNamara Field Airport in Crescent City, California. I would fly SkyWest Airlines, as that is the only airline that flies to this small airport in Crescent City. I would probably travel by park transportation or some other form of public transportation. Redwood National Park is known for its enormous redwood trees. They are hundreds of years old and hundreds of feet tall. Due to weather patterns influenced by the ocean, the temperature stays constant year-round - from the mid-40s to low-60s (Fahrenheit). Annually, the area gets about 60-80 inches of rain. Park officials strongly encourage visitors to be prepared for any type of weather - this includes bringing layers for cold weather and boots for wet and slippery areas. Again, I would have to bring clothes for all types of weather, as well as hiking gear for traveling through the forest.
While visiting Redwood National Park, I would expect a lot of great things. I have never been to California before, and doing so would just be a wonderful experience. Personally, seeing the west coast and the beauty of such an aged forest would truly be an unforgettable experience. From what I know about national parks, I picture the forest as being filled with life in so many forms, as well as park rangers and other fascinated visitors. By going on this trip, I could be closer to nature and would learn to appreciate it so much more.

Travis,
ReplyDeleteExcellent writing in your blog posts! I especially enjoyed your travel post. I really want to see that wonder of America too. You do a great job proofreading your own writing, and that is really important. The only improvement that you need to make is to add an image to some of your new posts for creative flare.

ReplyDeleteYour blog is very interesting to read. The post about Redwood Nation Park was very informative and your bit about Jon was quite detailed and gave a good background. Keep writing!
