One week has passed. Every week is full of new adventures for Loren and me (people at his lab tell him, "I can't believe all of the places you and Mary are going. Most of those places WE haven't even been to and we LIVE here!) We are truly trying to experience everything in our short time here. We went to a beautiful primeval forest called a "climax community" of Western Red Cedars. It is where over many hundreds of years, a forest has been left untouched and one species of trees begins to dominate. It was stepping into Camelot. The trees were huge, and there were so many of them. The forest floor was covered in damp ferns, and it was extremely still and almost reverent walking through this small trail. We got lost a couple of times, it was cold, and I was thinking we should have told someone where we were going! But we made it back to the car safely around 8 p.m. just at dark.
