18:05 you get there though, look at this.

18:05 you get there though, look at this. There's some information about logging

18:07 There's some information about logging

18:08 There's some information about logging because uh this forest was logged at one

18:10 because uh this forest was logged at one

18:10 because uh this forest was logged at one point. So, a lot of the trees of mystery

18:12 point. So, a lot of the trees of mystery

18:12 point. So, a lot of the trees of mystery are some of the only ancient trees left

18:13 are some of the only ancient trees left

18:14 are some of the only ancient trees left in this area. I mean, there's other

18:29 some species in China and then basically here in the Sierras and on the west

18:31 here in the Sierras and on the west

18:31 here in the Sierras and on the west coast. All that's left of redwood forest

18:33 coast. All that's left of redwood forest

18:34 coast. All that's left of redwood forest that covered the entire earth. So, this

18:35 that covered the entire earth. So, this

18:35 that covered the entire earth. So, this ecosystem isn't just ancient. It is

18:37 ecosystem isn't just ancient. It is

18:37 ecosystem isn't just ancient. It is literally primordial. That's why it's a

18:40 literally primordial. That's why it's a

21:43 I'm stumped. You can see here, even when

21:43 I'm stumped. You can see here, even when they logged the old growth redwoods, the

21:46 they logged the old growth redwoods, the

21:46 they logged the old growth redwoods, the way they start growing back in a ring

21:48 way they start growing back in a ring

21:48 way they start growing back in a ring around the original stumps, even when

21:51 around the original stumps, even when

21:51 around the original stumps, even when giant redwoods died thousands of years

21:53 giant redwoods died thousands of years

21:53 giant redwoods died thousands of years ago, thousands and thousands of years

21:54 ago, thousands and thousands of years

21:54 ago, thousands and thousands of years ago, you'll see these almost ringlike

21:56 ago, you'll see these almost ringlike

21:56 ago, you'll see these almost ringlike formations where the young trees grow

21:59 formations where the young trees grow

21:59 formations where the young trees grow out of the roots. That's why you see so

22:01 out of the roots. That's why you see so

22:01 out of the roots. That's why you see so many massive like 2,000-y old redwoods

22:03 many massive like 2,000-y old redwoods

22:03 many massive like 2,000-y old redwoods that look like they're growing next to

22:04 that look like they're growing next to

22:04 that look like they're growing next to each other. You'll see like twin trees.

22:06 each other. You'll see like twin trees.

22:06 each other. You'll see like twin trees. Those will be the survivors of the sort

22:08 Those will be the survivors of the sort

22:08 Those will be the survivors of the sort of cluster that grew out of the old

22:10 of cluster that grew out of the old

22:10 of cluster that grew out of the old fallen trees back in the day. It was

22:13 fallen trees back in the day. It was

22:13 fallen trees back in the day. It was funny cuz man did his best to destroy

22:15 funny cuz man did his best to destroy

22:15 funny cuz man did his best to destroy the redwood forest. But it only takes

22:17 the redwood forest. But it only takes

22:17 the redwood forest. But it only takes about 30 years as long as they leave the

22:19 about 30 years as long as they leave the

22:19 about 30 years as long as they leave the stumps behind for even more redwoods to

22:21 stumps behind for even more redwoods to

22:21 stumps behind for even more redwoods to sprout up. All right. Well, here you

22:22 sprout up. All right. Well, here you

22:22 sprout up. All right. Well, here you have the candalabra tree. You can see uh

22:25 have the candalabra tree. You can see uh

22:25 have the candalabra tree. You can see uh three new trees growing right out of

22:26 three new trees growing right out of

22:26 three new trees growing right out of this old fallen log. But I think you get

22:28 this old fallen log. But I think you get

22:28 this old fallen log. But I think you get the idea now when it comes to the trees

22:30 the idea now when it comes to the trees

22:30 the idea now when it comes to the trees of mystery. Time for us to scoot on down

22:32 of mystery. Time for us to scoot on down

22:32 of mystery. Time for us to scoot on down to the bottom of the trail towards the

22:34 to the bottom of the trail towards the
