I really do…
Dec 13, 2019 at 11:55 pm #3622758I did not know anyone had visited planet Mountia .
Dec 14, 2019 at 12:18 am #3622763It may be maudlin but I love the sentiment of that idea. Thanks! And while in that sentimental spirit…. May the Mountains bring all of you
health and joy and peace and beauty and time with friends old and new and family and love this Holiday Season.
Dec 14, 2019 at 12:39 am #3622770There’s a fantastic grove of Jeffrey Pine just past Merced Lake that I’ve been visiting in the spring usually for nigh on 30 years. If it’s later in the year I’m coming from above have been on the trail awhile and really stink. I think these trees know me.
Wait, actually I don’t stink–I bathe daily–but my personal smell is pronounced.
There’s also a thick cluster of trees that have been re-occupying a burn area below that lake. I’ve watched them slowly grow higher over a similar period of time. Sometimes I’ve camped by them, again usually in the early spring. I think about all these trees often.

Ha! Thanks for the laugh, Franco.
Dec 15, 2019 at 10:30 pm #3622982I hate to spoil a joke and I thought I had but I see that my first comment still was too subtle.
Dec 16, 2019 at 12:42 am #3622999Duh. I passed that test with flying colors!
Jan 17, 2020 at 6:04 pm #3627639Do they want us to return the trees we stole to flush down the toilet?
Jan 18, 2020 at 5:20 pm #3627770We buy TP made 100% from recycled paper and cardboard, without the usual chlorine bleaches. We like to think it helps.
Cheers
