| Lily took this last year |
A year ago to the day, I took Lily up to Artist Point for her first time in the Mt. Baker wilderness. and I wanted to introduce her to one of my favorite Old Growth trees, which we stopped to visit on our way back down the highway. Isn't it magnificent? You have to know exactly where to stop on the road, since there's no signs to this tree. I was shown its location a few years back, when one of the Trailblazers suggested we stop and look at this wondrous tree. And now I've passed the information on to a dear friend.
It's really impossible to take a picture that captures the feeling this tree imparts to visitors. It has to be hundreds and hundreds of years old, spared by the loggers the first time they passed through. And now you've also met this wonderful tree. Lily took this picture, looking up, that
almost captures how spectacular it is.

| Ooohhhh! |
This Thursday we'll pass by the place where we can see this tree, but we probably won't stop, since we've got a long hike scheduled for the day.
