CAMPING UNDER TALL TREES

**We just returned from another camping weekend with kids and grandkids on the southeastern flank of Mt Ranier. A lot of our time was spent sitting around the campfire reading, talking, eating, and enjoying the forest around us. During the day it was fun to watch the kids, dogs and chipmunks, and one another coming and going from tent to trailer to table. It was a quiet, restful weekend.
**Looking up was a part of the joy of this setting. I don't know the height of these stunning trees above our ring of canvas chairs, but my guess is that they are close to 200', putting the canopy level way up there. I figured a fairly good size house could be made from each one of these huge beauties. It is very inspiring to reflect upon their age, majesty, and maker.
