Prairie Creek and Black Friday

Evan and a big tree

Evan and a wall of wood

Evan spotted this "widow maker" in the forest. Basically a large branch that fell off the tree a long time ago and embedded itself into the earth. Notice the huckleberry bush and other plants growing out of the top of the log!

Evan and I did a little bushwhacking and found this giant hiding in the forest.

My friend Evan and I did a hike in Prairie Creek yesterday. Seemed like the forest was a more ideal choice to spend Black Friday than rolling around on the floors of Wal-Mart wrestling for TV's and Barbie dolls. Good conversation, hiking on and off trail, firing up the tree measuring laser, a variety of weather conditions, all made for another memorable day in this grand redwood forest of ours...
