There’s a lot of debate on the web, but after talking to a park ranger for a bit, it was confirmed that Jedediah Smith State Park in Oregon was one of the locations where George Lucas filmed the scenes for the moon of Endor from Star Wars episode VI. That’s right, this is where the Ewoks live.
Ok, so we didn’t see any Ewoks, but that’s because they live deeper in the woods, away from the trail. Unless they happen to be blowing up a shield generator or something like that.
But on to the park itself. It’s another one of the Redwood National and State parks, but what’s funny is, we all found that we liked this park better than the National park. How about some pictures?
This is the root system of a Redwood. A big one that is. Redwoods are the tallest trees in the world, but not the biggest. The Sequoias are the biggest by volume. The funny thing about Redwoods is their roots only go about ten feet into the ground, but then they stretch hundreds of feet sideways and connect with other roots. Sequoia roots only go about five feet into the ground and I don't think they reach sideways. Which is why you aren't allowed to stand right up next to one.
