Anything green...

Treehouses & Forests


Today was an interesting day!  I got to meet with the author of the
Benjamin Bear books.  It's funny how you can know someone a long time
and not know everything they do.  It's always intriguing finding out new
things about the people you know.  People are so very multi-faceted.

Something that came up during our discussion was tree houses, specifically ones in the
Mohican Park area.  I never realized there was such a thing but you can actually rent a tree house to stay in.  Remember those tree houses you used to play in when you were a kid?  Well those are nothing compared to these tree houses.  Sometimes you wonder what it might have been like to live like the Ewoks from Star Wars.  So if you're looking for a forest adventure... 

Thinking of forests makes me think of the Portola Redwoods State Park.  The trees are ever so tall and the drive up to the forest is winding around a steep mountain.  If you are scared of heights, you will hate the drive but I have to admit seeing the trees are worth it.

Thank goodness it's getting warmer!
