It is strange to live on the Pacific Coast, where Redwoods and Douglas Fir grow from CA up to BC Canada. We get so use to seeing the big trees, they lose some of their glamor. I remember going to the deep south and east coast for the first time and seeing the "twigs" they had for trees. Trying to describe the trees here to someone who hasn't seen such a sight is really impossible or at least it was during the late 60s- early 70s. Now one can go on the internet and see photos of old growth timber still growing along the Pacific. Here is a photo taken in the early '70s, not sure if taken in CA,OR or WA. But believe it is from Estacada OR, a few miles south of Portland, OR.  Another photo from the 40s or 50's, do you see any wraps on his load or steel stakes to keep his load from shifting and crushing those driving next to him?:
