Today we did 7 miles of hiking through a primeval forest. It was like Jurassic Park or some alien planet on Star Wars. In fact one of the Star Wars movies had a scene filmed in one of the groves here. The trail was somewhat gnarly. We were completely alone having our own adventure. A fantastic hike. I'd put that hike in my top 10. Tomorrow we move to a KOA near Lassen Volcanic National Park. We will be there for 3 days. I have no idea if we will have cell. A bit of trivia: The largest conifer tree on earth has the smallest pine cone. Big things sometimes come in small packages.
Wow those trees are HUGH. I am sure it was an epic hike thru them. Interesting fact about the pune cones. Maybe so wind could blow them a long way away
ReplyDeleteI agree with Pat about the pine cones being so small for such a majestic tree(1500 years!). Evolution has a sense of humor. Happy that the hike was such a memorial one. Paula
