Can't wait to see them trees. Thanks for the all the info. <BR/><BR/>When you get around to writing Earth's greatest hits... don't forget to include the Wollemi Pine. <BR/><BR/>People who think this planet could function the way it does and support human life... without trees... what's with them...?

If you ever get down to the neck of the woods I described in the previous comment, go to Stout Grove in Jedediah Smith State Park....where you'll see a similar grove of awesome, but redwood, trees. The cool part is the park if FULL of groves (Stout just being where the biggest ones are). Certain members of my family (who shall go nameless) say with disdain that we live in a tree-hugger town...to which I reply that that's why I live here! :) One of my favorite places here is the tiny redwood grove at the university's arboretum...they seem like saplings compared to what I'm used to...but they feel like 'home.'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-1722775375238770022007-08-25T11:35:00.000-07:002007-08-25T11:35:00.000-07:00WOW - incredible!

Mark and I just read your post together and wondered about the trees - we hope to see them someday!<BR/><BR/>I used to do an activity with the kids at summer camp called 'hug a tree.' They were in pairs and one was blindfolded and they were taken to a tree and had to get to know it based on their other senses. Then, taken away from it and unblindfolded they had to find it again. They often would go back to 'their' tree during the next week.

I'm not sure they were all that impressed by me though :) They were probably much more impressed with you - now they can add 'pink-crested human' to their life list :-) hope you don't mind the bad jokes - gosh I'm weird in the mornings...Anyway, glad you had a nice visit with them and got out of Flat City for a little while!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-88210934712049499102007-08-23T20:27:00.000-07:002007-08-23T20:27:00.000-07:00Wow!

I use to be into trees, (as you know I invented some of the early models of them), but they sort of bore me now. What do they <I>do</I> really except just sit there and fuddle about in their bark? They don't talk or make cupcakes or even have an outlet to plug in a TV so you could sit and watch outside. I don't know, these tree things are a wee bit overrated. And all that talk about how they are the "lungs" for our planet, well, I don't know about you, but I'm breathing just fine without them. I'm not a tree hater, I just think we all need to move on and focus on other things, like mice and mules and mumus.Alex Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02109059018269508607noreply@blogger.com
