Trees come in many sizes.
Liz and I went up to Lake Quinault on Sunday as sort of a last little trip. We visited the Olympic National Forest in an area that gets an average of 12 feet of rain a year. It’s considered a rainforest. We saw huge trees and took pictures.

My loyal, trustworthy ‘66 Tempest died on the way out of town to pick up Liz, so my brother screamed over from Fort Lewis and I was able to pick her [...]

Gravelly movie narrator: From the director who brought you “Hoquiam City Hall” and “Emus in McCleary” comes … “Big Red Cedar”.
