The new record redwood is one of a group just found in a survey. 3 in the group exceed the previously recorded max by a fair amount. The location is being kept under wraps for reasons I don't completely understand. I see I mistyped what was supposed to be 370+ (dropped the 3 and apparently held the 0 down). The record tree is 378.1, 8 feet taller than the previous record. It was announced a week ago, and is in a "remote part of Redwoods National Park". On our property in the Santa Cruz mountains, we have several stumps in the 40+ foot diameter range. The property was extensively cut during the rebuilding of San Francisco after 1906.

Ought not to type faster than I read. Anyway, I'm headed for a short trip in the backcountry.
