Redwood Trees are found only in California.
God surely smiled as He planted them!

Route 66—Alliance Redwoods


In the beautiful hills of Northern California there is a Christian Camp that means a great deal to me. It is situated among the majestic redwood trees of the Coast Range Mountains, sheltered in a misty valley along Dutch Bill Creek. There God’s people retreat to worship and praise the Creator of all that surrounds them. Many activities are available at Alliance Redwoods but what I especially enjoy when I retreat there are the many trails. Because of the location of the camp along the creek, all the trails lead uphill and hiking the trails at Alliance is strenuous but well worth the effort. God and I meet on those trails.
Any hiker who is not inclined to remember God is forcefully reminded of Him by the Route 66 signs that pop up every now and then. There are 66 signs, one for each book of the Bible, not in any particular order. They are placed randomly and finding them all is quite an effort. 
Will you hike with me and think about the verses we encounter? Perhaps we will memorize some of them so that we can continue to meditate on their meaning.
