Reply to comment by herbw in TIL redwood trees -- growing to heights of 350 feet or more (over 100 meters) -- have roots that go only about ten feet into the ground. by OccludedFug
Limekiln State Park -- nearly 100 miles south of Santa Cruz -- has a stand of redwoods. AFAIK that is that is the most southern grove. A little further north, but still well south of Santa Cruz, the Big Sur river valley is famous for its redwoods.

Reply to comment by Sloloem in ELI5: why is using "goto" considered to be a bad practice in programming? by Dacadey
Yes. IOW, Goto is a primitive instruction not too far removed from the assembly language -- the native language of the chipset itself. As programming languages get more sophisticated, the need for goto goes away. The fact that most languages still have a goto instruction is really more about history than function.
