...to the place, I belong! Okay, so it wasn't quite West Virginia, but I recently spent the weekend camping in Big Basin SP. Wonderful campsite (#79, a walk in site) with lots of space, good separation from the 'neighbors'. The main draw for this park is the forest itself - felt a good deal like the mountains of NC, with bigger trees. I.e. trees so big that they were alive during the Byzantine Empire! A lot of redwoods had huge hollowed out cores where you could easily walk through (or as they used to, drive a car in backwards to make it look like you drove through it!). It makes you feel like a Hobbit of sorts to be so dwarfed in age and size by the vegatation. I almost expected the trees to talk to me LOTR style.
We did the gourmet yuppie car camping thing - bringing two coolers of food and drinks :D Harlie, Julian, & I drove down Saturday morning, and Pei-Lan and Gavin joined us on Sunday.
I love smores, I love the woods, I love a good nap after a long hike. All in all, a GREAT weekend :)
Julian leaves next weekend back to Seattle. I think we survived our month well, and definately learned a few new things about each other.
The servers at work are hanging, thus my midday ability to blog. Wake up archives DB, wake up!
