The fog finally cleared and I was COMPLETELY surprised to get to the trailhead and find THIS sign... I mean...I was only like two miles off of I-5. So...ya... a little freaked out. But I read the instructions that if attacked, I was encouraged to "fight back" so I felt much assured as I set out on this lonely trail...ya right.

A lot of the trails were paved, but covered with a lovely coat of soft leaves. I'm pretty sure I have shin splints. The athletic portion of this adventure was somewhat pitiful. Couldn't walk, couldn't run, hobbled until I pulled my groin. Whatever. Kept going... because I just HAD TO SEE THE FAMED...

..."Nation's Largest Black Cottonwood Tree". Hm... I guess I'm not so easily impressed anymore...

And because the girls in this family are just hip like this....

And...My neighbor, Larry, told me that a Christmas visitor came by his house last night...and sure nuff...there's that jolly ol' elf taking a rest in one of Larry's trees...Do you see him?
