I shouldn't complain too much about the rain and cooler temperatures (so much like ours here in England it seems to me) because they are sweltering in so many parts of the U.S. at the moment, aren't they!Stella Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699491230987143490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-20293182532828719002011-07-22T08:12:52.132-07:002011-07-22T08:12:52.132-07:00DJan, you are my hero!

Thanks for the photo of the old growth tree. It's so rare to find any that huge anymore.<br />A fun note- I was telling my Bellingham daughter about your hiking adventures, and she asked me your name. I laughed (thinking, how would she know you . . .) but told her, and she said, "I met her this morning! She came into Great Harvest." (I think this was Wednesday morning)<br />Is it possible?? She's the morning counter girl, a blond named Jessica. <br />Small world. :)Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923693784234135636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-73526292494191248452011-07-22T07:28:02.100-07:002011-07-22T07:28:02.100-07:00Another confusing mountain name again, Goat mounta...Another confusing mountain name again, Goat mountain, I haven't gotten over with Church mountain yet and I chuckled everytime I think about it...

I would like to see a list of those. I especially like names that sound like American Indians named them. The gaiters should help give your boots a longer life.

There is something about really huge, old trees that just stirs something in me. Makes you want to touch them, lean on them, stretch your arms out around them like your friends did in the picture. They do inspire awe.<br /><br />Thanks again for bringing us along with you. :):)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-2218481402576481502011-07-21T17:49:54.727-07:002011-07-21T17:49:54.727-07:00I'm completely blown away by the size and beau...I'm completely blown away by the size and beauty of this giant tree.
