A. The redwoods in Muir woods are sweet. The Kibab national forest above the Grand Canyon on the Kibab plateau is nice to visit in the summer, the East Texas woods are nice too. I know of a rather nice pine forest at high altitude but, you have to be invited.

Asked by Miranda - Mon Oct 6 12:19:23 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Your answer is A. At least according to Wikipedia: "After its failed attempt at a colony in the 1540s, for a time France limited its colonial interests in what would become Canada to fishing in the Grand Banks off the coast of Newfoundland. By the beginning of the 17th century, however, the French had become very interested in the fur trade, and this led them to push inland to better trade with American Indian tribes. French interest in the area began with the founding of Tadoussac in 1599. In 1603, Samuel de Champlain made his first trip to North America on a fur trading expedition. ... In 1608, he created a fur trading post that would grow into the city of Quebec, a settlement that later became the capital of French North America."
