We got up much slower but coffee and toast got us moving
Headed out for a drive on the Newton Drury Scenic highway
More hills and trees.
Mostly trees and the sun and mist rising made for a magical trip
I didn't put this in to show off the dirty truck
only to give you and idea how big the trees are
Look to the right and you can see Millie walking
Kind of gives a perspective of the tree size.
Another remains of a fallen giant
A path goes right through the middle
The fallen tree may have been 20 feet or more in diameter.
Millie and Pancho in the middle of the fallen tree on the path.
Pancho being Pancho
This is a root ball of a fallen tree
It is about 15 feet high and supporting lots of ferns.
And further along we found a..............
Who'd a thought we would find one here?
And it really is a "Big Tree"
Tom straining his neck and back to look up at the "Big Tree"
And Believe it or Not this is the whole tree.
Had to stitch together photos to capture this.
After having enough of searching out big trees.
We headed for the beach
Did find how Christmas presents all get delivered so quickly
Frosty the Boatman helps Santa, with the loan of a few Reindeer.
(Thought you might enjoy this)
And the beach with the waves still rolling ashore.
Millie with the fur kids sitting and taking a break.
so much work barking and chasing waves and other dogs.
The sand on this beach was loose and was some exercise to walk far.
But good for us!
The above are some of Mother Nature's Art work.
On our way back we stopped and shopped at a local wood artisan
Spent an hour looking at all the raw cuts of wood, roots and burls.
Even bought a few for possible Cribbage boards,
if I can get Carissa to help design the peg path.
Wanted this for the lake, but it would cost more to ship it than to buy it.
After all the excitement we headed back to camp
Time to get things ready to move.
We did not see it all and we did enjoy what we did see.
So tomorrow we head a little further south on our slow quest for warm and DRY!
Yes it is raining again.
Make tomorrow great like you made today, only different
Hugs
Tom and Millie
