Trip to see some Cedars
Monday, August 07, 2006Woke up at 5:30. Yeah, I know.
But made it to Dave’s house by the alloted time of 7:00. Come to find out, the other 2 guys that were going on this trip backed out—one just last night. So it was me, Dave and Morgan.
It was a good day, not too hot. All in all, we drove (from Dave’s place) a total of 117 miles, rode our bikes 7.3 miles in the woods, then hiked a total of 3.6 miles (all figures are round trip.) It was a nice time - the trip took us to an old growth cedar forest, where some trees are 6-7’ across. Even bigger if there were 2 trees growing together. Here we had lunch and headed back.
We did have to stop at the Granite Falls on the way, and there was another old growth Cedar gove, which they claimed were up to 2,000 years old (some of them - I don’t think we found them.) It’s a national park that everyone can go and see.
This took most of the day - came home for a nap and rest for the rest.
