Trees of Mystery?????

Well now that Harold's shed is finally done, well I am not sure if it is done since I am someplace other than where Harold's shed is. If I was where Harold's shed was then I could tell you whether it was done or not, but since I am not I guess the only thing to do is tell you that the shed was done to the point that I could build it and when I get back out there I will find out just how done the shed is?????

But for now Harold’s shed will remain a previous story and we or I or us together or maybe just me since I am writing and you are reading will go on to another day and time……..

And so it came about that on the 4th of August it was time to get together with the OLD VOLKS and FOLKS and take a road trip. This trip was a day journey to the Trees of Mystery in Klamath, California. In all the years that I lived out there I had driven Highway 101 numerous times and had passed the Trees all those times, but had never stopped there. I guess it is like living in Florida. I am about 7o miles from all the WORLDS, Disney, Sea, Universal and whatever other world are over there and I have absolutely no urge to go there. But the Trees sounded like fun so Carla (who had been there) and I were looking forward to going there.

Unfortunately a problem arose and we were delayed so I called the leader and told him that we were running (well not really running, more like sitting and waiting) I cannot understand how you can be sitting and waiting, but still be running late (but that will be a story for another time) and with a little luck we would catch them at the rest area on the west side of the Oregon Mountain tunnel. As luck would have it the problem was resolved to a point where we could take off and away we went using the back roads and exceeding the speed limit only slightly to make up time!!!!!

We arrived at the rest area to find everyone there and the weather cooperating nicely at about 80 degrees with blue skies. So after a short pause we were back on the road. The reason that I mentioned the weather is because as we went through Gasquet, California (you can google it)  the temperature DROPPED and what was SUMMER on one side of Oregon Mountain was WINTER!!!!!!!!!!!! on the other side. So the dress code changed from shorts and t-shirts to long pants, jackets and for me a pair of gloves!!!!!!!!!!

We stopped somewhere along Hwy 101 for a lunch break and then headed on south to the Trees and the story continues..............
